DDT Use May Vary For Corn Borers In Iowa Farms
Iowa farmers face choice of one or two DDT treatments to control first brood corn borers, with two treatments giving best overall control and yields. A single early application yields about 7.4 bushels per acre, a single late application about 10.4, while two applications yield 16.7 more than untreated. Costs show single early returns about $3.70, single late $5.20, two treatments $4.14 per acre. Daily field checks advised. first spray at 50+ egg masses per 100 plants on 35 inch stalks, second 7–10 days later if still 50+ masses remain.

Timing Schedule for Peak Egg Laying Treatment
Timing is critical for the single treatment plan to be profitable, needing application at the peak of egg laying or 10 to 12 days after first field hatch. Gunderson notes difficulty in pinpointing first hatch. treatment advised only with 50 egg masses per 100 plants on corn 35 inches or taller, or if 75 percent of plants show leaf feeding 7 days after hatch with some unhatched eggs. DDT rate is 1 percent pounds per acre per application as spray or dust, workable by ground or air.
