The European corn borer has troubled the North Central States since 1921, causing Ohio losses of about 6.8 million dollars in 1970. It spread from Ohio and Michigan into Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota, with the first brood reducing yields by up to 30 bushels per acre. Weather heavily affects pest development, and frequent field inspections plus timely insecticide applications are urged for first brood control.
