Plowing Down Com Stubble Helps
To Reduce Com Borers Next Season
Corn growers can help cut
down on next summer’s corn
borer infestations if they act
fast The number of borers
overwintering in corn stubble
is unusually high, and damage
may be severe this summer
unless growers plow down stub
ble befoie May 1 Plowing stub
ble under kills and buries many
borers before they come out
as moths in May
At least one borer per square
foot overwintered in corn stalks
in Delaware fields this year.
That adds up to more than 43,-
000 per cere. It also adds up
to trouble for sweet corn, po
tato and pepper growers, points
out Dr Dale Bray chairman
ot the department oi entomol
ogy and applied ecology at the
University of Delaware If
weather conditions are right
this summer, this could be one
of the worst years on record
for corn borer damage
Green poppers are a maioi
target, more than half of the
crop may be lost As each gen
eration of borers develops—
there are three or four each
summer—numbers increase as
tronomically and so does the
damage.

Bray advises commercial pep
per growers to begin spraying
with DDT or carbaryl (Sevm)
when entomologists find four
borer moths per night in their
light trans Spraying every sev
en to ten clays will be neces
sary
DDT is also recommended for
control of borers on com if it
is not going to be used for
livestock feed In that case,
Bray suggests carbaryl How
ever, spraying field corn is us
ually impractical since it may
cost more than the value o£
the corn lost
Borers don't cut corn yields
appreciably unless the third, or
August, gcneiation is extreme
ly numerous If heavily infest
ed corn stalks aie weakened
enough to be blown down dur
ing windstorms, corn pickers
can’t harvest the entire crop.
Borers do more costly dam
age to sweet corn, they can
lower the duality and edibility
ot a sizeable percentage of
corn ears Some of the crop
may have to be discarded.
Borers also attack potatoes;
the first generation moths
emerging from the corn stalks
