Abstract

The decision to treat for European corn borer is complex and affected by many variables such as weather, plant maturity, borer survival and development, anticipated corn prices, insecticide efficacy, and costs versus anticipated returns. This 2007 NebGuide discusses the factors growers need to consider when assessing the need for control of first generation European corn borers in non-Bt corn.
