Corn Ear Worm Damage In Iowa Fields
The corn ear worm causes extensive damage this year with most ears showing injury. No effective control exists beyond deep fall plowing. dusting sweet corn with lead arsenate may help in gardens. Burning stalks does not reduce worms. mould accompanies damage but is non injurious to seed. Drying corn stops mould growth. cut away mouldy portions if seed is contaminated. L. G. Sorden, Co. Agt.
