First Hay Crop Into Silage
Bad weather won’t deter the town farmer who silages his first grass and legume crop. Silage preserves more food value than hay, cutting losses from 10 to 50 percent in poor weather. Early cutting, proper moisture, and preservatives help prevent spoilage while packing the silo tight to keep air out.

Timing and method decide first brood corn borer control
Timing of application influences effectiveness of DDT dust or spray for first brood corn borers in Iowa. Sprays generally outperform dusts and ground applications outperform aerials when timed correctly, though well timed dusts can beat poorly timed sprays. Gunderson urges daily field checks and two 1% pound per acre treatments at 50 egg masses per 100 plants on 35 inch corn, 7 to 10 days apart.

Timing and rates boost efficacy in two stage pest control
For farmers seeking best results from a two treatment program the second application should follow 12 to 14 days after the first. A larger early batch of 50 eggs per 100 plants or 16 to 30 gallons per acre yields better control than smaller single shots. Earliest planted corn tends to attract moths, though the tallest field is not always the target.

Counting egg masses by Gunderson method in field rows
The procedure directs a field count by sampling 60 plants in blocks of 10 to 12 rows. Count egg masses on 10 plants per block across successive blocks, measure the height of the first plant in each group, and sum totals. Multiply the final egg mass tally by two to estimate per 100 plants.
