Rotary Beaters and Corn Borers Warned as Ineffective

An agricultural expert from the University of Illinois cautions that cornstalk shredders or beaters do not kill corn borers. Entomologists note that about 200 borers per acre can repopulate fields by spring, a level no current beater reliably reduces. The article urges avoiding reliance on shredder devices for pest control.

Stalk destruction methods for borers tested in fields

Tests show machines leave about 30 percent of stalk length uncrushed and over two inches of stalk remain. Plowing under stalks is the only current method to destroy borer homes, Bateman says. Next spring borers in fence rows and protected places will still require control. Plowing with a tandem disc can be nearly as clean as with a stalk beater, though it takes longer.
