Redbacked cutworm is primarily a pest of cereals, sugar beet, canola, mustard, and flax in the Prairie Provinces. It also feeds on most vegetables, sunflower, sweetclover, alsike, alfalfa, various tree seedlings and garden flowers. Redbacked cutworm frequently causes serious damage on the Prairies and produces infestations of two to four years duration followed by a minimum of two years of relative scarcity.
