Parasites Could Help Combat European Corn Borer
The United States Department of Agriculture tests imported parasites as a biological control for the European corn borer. Since 1910, 1 798 080 parasites across 32 species have been released in U S fields, with six species now established. Effectiveness remains unproven, so farm practices and destruction of last year’s residues remain essential. Public circular No 140 informs growers about these imported parasites and their status.
