New Corn Insect Seen in Northwestern Iowa
Entomologists report a new striped boring worm, Luperia Stipata Morr, attacking corn six inches to knee high in Emmet County fields. Found first last year near Randall, the pest injures central leader leaves and feeds underground, mainly in low or previously oat or sod fields near grasses and fence rows. Fall burning and plowing oat stubble may reduce future outbreaks as winter eggs on grasses hatch into feeding larvae.
