The western bean cutworm, Striacosta albicosta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was captured for the fisrt time in the province of Quebec in 2009. Each year, The pest monitoring network follows the evolution of population monitoring adults but also egg masses, young and mature larvae and injuries on corn ears. It was recently shown that the pest could overwinter and complete its developmental cycle in the province. During the last years, it was observed an increase of injuries on plants, forcing the producers to adapt to this new situation and to transform their agricultural practices.
Here we present the most recent data on the biology, the monitoring and the management of this pest in the province of Quebec.
