Corn Earworm Outlook for Maryland Crops in 1955
Maryland farmers worry about corn earworm damage after three tough years. Winter temperatures around 32.5 degrees in Frederick reduce overwinter survival, suggesting a lower earworm population entering 1955, but past high overwintering counts imply remaining survivors require early control. DDT spray of 2 qts 25% emulsion per 25 gal water is recommended in early injury stages to protect corn and late vegetables.

Varieties, planting rate, seed treatment, and certified seed with high germination are key. He recommends 15 000 stalks per acre, nine inch seed spacing, and treated seed to guard against disease and insects.
