Insecticide Applied Aerially for Control of First Generation European Corn Borer, 1993

Comparison of Chemigated and Aerially-Applied Chlorpyrifos and Fenvalerate for Control of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Larvae

Risk and the Value of Additional Insecticide Applications for European Corn Borer Control in Processing Sweet Corn

This analysis uses data from field evaluations of pyrethroid insecticides to estimate the uncertainty (risk) and expected value of additional insecticide applications and IPM to control European corn borer larvae in processing sweet corn. Preliminary empirical results indicate that IPM can increase expected returns around $5-$9/ac and reduce the risk (variability) of net returns.

Sequential Sampling Plans for Use in Timing Insecticide Applications for Control of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Potato

J. Econ.Entomol.89(6): 1468-1476 (1996) ABSTRACT Sequential sampling plans were developed for use in recommending control of European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hiibner), in potato, Solanum tuberosum L., fields based on the distribution of damaged stems. Likelihood ratio tests indicated that the betabinomial distribution (aggregated) provided a better fit than the binomial (random) when th...

Flight behaviour of European corn borer infected with Nosema pyrausta

The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest of corn, Zea mays L., in North America, Europe and Asia. Before the introduction of transgenic Bt corn targeting lepidopteran pests, the European corn borer was responsible for over $1 billion in damage and control measures annually in the U.S. alone (Mason et al. 1996). Management of this insect historically ...

Nutrition of the European Corn Borer, Pyrausta Nubilalis (hbn.)

1. The European corn borer larva has been shown to require a dietary source of one or more unidentified factors contained in corn leaves, grass juice concentrate, and certain other plant materials. The required factor or factors has been termed the corn leaf factor. 2. The corn leaf factor does not appear to be identical with any of the known B vitamins, or with ascorbic acid, sodium nucleate, ...
