CONTROL FOR
CORN BORER
Causes Heavy Losses to Crop
Some Years; Insect
Feeds on Plant
DESTROY BY MAY 1ST

For the past four summers many
Delaware farmers have been call
ing upon the Department of Ento-
mology of the University of Della
ware for information about a small
worm attacking their corn. DR.. L.
A. Stearns, entomologist for the
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, reveals that this pest is
the European corn borer. Although
first noticed in Sussex County in
1884, the European corn borer is
widely distributed over Delaware in
Sufficient numbers to cause rather
heavy losses in years when op-
timum weather occurs for its de-
velopment. The greatest injury by
this insect, according to DR..
Stearns, results from the tunneling
and feeding of the borers within
the stalk, ears, tassel, mid-rib of
the leaf, brace roots, stubble and
practically all parts of the corn
plant except the fibrous roots. They
feed to some extent upon the sur
face of the plant, tn eleaf blades,
tassel buds, husks and silks of the
ear and the leaf sheaths. Type of
injury depends on the stage of de-
velopment of the corn plant and on
weather conditions. Since the corn
borer spends its winters in the re-
mains of plants it feeds on during
summer, DR.. Stearns recommends
that all remains of the corn plant
be used or destroyed before May 1
of each year. If this is done, the
borer will be destroyed before it
has an opportunity to develop from
the borer stage into the moth or
adult stage. BY breaking up this
life cycle new infestations may be
halted. According to Stearns, the
best control measures at this time
of the year are to use fodder in
such a way as to destroy all borers,
to plow the stubble under complete
ly and evenly, and if the corn is not
cut, to plow under all stalks and
trash to depth of at least six
inches if soil conditions permit.
