European corn borer threatens America's greatest crop
The European corn borer is the most injurious pest introduced to the United States, risking the future of corn. It already covers about 500 square miles in Massachusetts, with infested plants spreading risk elsewhere. Strict plant quarantines and cleanup are urged, including burning stalks and crop residues in late fall, winter, or early spring to destroy overwintering borers.

The European corn borer tunnels the stalks and ears of corn, weakening plants and reducing yields across Massachusetts and beyond. Two generations occur yearly, with damage persisting from pre tasseling to winter. Prevention requires careful field management and Farmers' Bulletin 1046 from the U S Department of Agriculture.
