Dr J Drake Iowa State College entomologist reports that about 90 percent of corn ears show ear worm damage across many fields. The pest does not winter in Iowa, so fall plowing cannot eradicate it, and early spring moth flights suggest multiple generations. Dusting seed corn may protect small areas, but is not economical for whole fields.
