Possible Second DDT Treatment For Corn Borers
Iowa State College extension entomologist Earle Raun says early planted corn may need a second DDT application if 50 or more egg masses occur per 100 plants and weather favors growth. Apply 1 to 1.5 pounds of actual DDT per acre as spray or 1.0 to 1.5 pounds per acre as dust, with emulsions or wettable powders giving good control. Continue monitoring fields for two weeks after first treatment as populations rise.
