Winter wheat is grown in the far western part of Kentucky (www.nass.usda.gov). Over the past ten years, winter wheat production has been relatively stable with Kentucky ranking 19th in the nation, on average, in winter wheat production although in recent years production has increased. In 2009, Kentucky was ranked 17th in the nation for production of winter wheat with 22 million bushels produced and in 2010, Kentucky was ranked 16th in the country with over 16 million bushels produced (statistics from www.ipmcenters.org and www.nass.usda.gov).As a crop of increasing importance, it is important to safeguard this industry from potentially damaging pests by conducting surveys that will allow for early detection and eradication.
