CSU test has shown excellent control with Ambush, Lorsban, Pounce and Warrior. Baythroid has not been in the test but it should perform equally well. Refer to the label for restrictions, application methods, rates, etc. They often have been observed showing preference to some broad leaf weed - mustard in wheat. In scouting wheat fields especially look on hill tops or wherever loose soil exist.
Army cutworms are foliage feeders above the ground surface.
They are most damaging when there is very little foliage and they are forced to feed on the crown. Thus the economic threshold is dependent on plant population, condition of the plant, and moisture conditions. A real low plant population without much foliage may see economic yield loss at 1 to 2 cutworm per linear foot of drill row while a high plant population, lust with foliage, may need 4 or more cutworms per linear foot of drill row to cause economic yield loss. In scouting a few fields we have not observed over 2 cutworms per linear foot of drill row. However, it is time to start scouting for this insect.
