Yellowstriped Armyworm – Vegetable Crops Hotline

Yellowstriped Armyworm

​Yellowstriped armyworms continue to cause problems for tomato growers, especially in high tunnels. The populations are often spotty within a field or high tunnel, but can easily reach damaging levels. Most of the insecticides listed in the Midwest Vegetable Production Guide for control of caterpillars on fruiting vegetables (pages 135-6) will control yellowstriped armyworms. If spraying within a high tunnel, be sure that the label allows use in a greenhouse or high tunnel. Consult Table 16 on page 40 for available options.
