Cool Weather Slows European Corn Borer Spread
Ames reports from state entomologist Dr. Carl Drake that cool, slow-growing corn reduces European corn borer mortality. He notes pest numbers likely won't rise as high as last year, with damage totaling about 2.2 million dollars previously. Parasitic releases across 35 to 40 eastern Iowa counties aim to curb heavy infestations. The borer, tiny with a black head, hides in corn whorl leaves, and may shift to potato and tomato crops this year.
