Aerial Diazinon Cleared for European Corn Borer Control
The U S Department of Agriculture registered Diazinon 14G for aerial use against European corn borer. Apply 7 to 14 pounds per acre when 75 percent of corn shows first generation feeding, with a second aerial application possible after seven days. For second generation control apply 7 to 14 pounds per acre when 100 egg masses per 100 plants are counted. Do not feed treated fodder to livestock for 10 days.

Farm and Home COMMENTS from County Agent Ken Krieg
Storms and rains affected much of the state with leaf spot pathogens on corn linked to two fungi and a bacterium. Wisconsin and Nebraska researchers note additional fungi. control suggestions include crop residue management and tolerant varieties. The piece also surveys the farm and rural community problem, its symptoms, and the need for broader policy and resource adjustments.

Diazinon Approved for Aerial European Corn Borer Control
USDA approves Geigy Diazinon 14G for aerial use to control first generation European corn borers as 25 percent of corn shows signs. Applications at 7 to 14 pounds per acre aim for complete, rapid coverage despite wet soils. Experts foresee 1969 risking the worst borer outbreak with over 20 million infested acres, stressing aerial timing and broader regional impact.

Reminder on offsetting compliance for multiple farm operations
Polk County ASC Chairman Richard C. Sealey warns producers with interests in two or more farms must meet offsetting compliance for each crop on every farm. The rule applies across counties and states and carries penalties of losing program benefits on participating allotments if not followed. Tammy Schenk visits relatives in Miami Oklahoma.

Controlling Corn Borers With Diazinon Granules
The eggs hatch in about a week and larvae move to corn whorls to feed on leaves and stalks. Apply Diazinon granules uniformly now so they gather in the whorls where young larvae accumulate. Once the insect bores into the stalk, control is virtually impossible.
