Lepidopteran pests continue to pose significant challenges to trait durability across the US. This presentation will highlight the joint efforts from the industry on pest monitoring in the US and provide an overview of ongoing monitoring efforts to assess the presence, distribution, and pressure of key lepidopteran species in research fields. Emphasis will be placed on collaborative scouting strategies and field sampling protocols. The data presented will include regional comparisons and updates on pest dynamics. Preliminary observations and methodologies will be discussed, with full monitoring data to be presented at the meeting.
