GEORGETOWN, Del. - While
the Mexican bean bettle was a
threat to soybean farmers last
year, the pest to watch for this
year may be the European com
borer, says University of Delaware
extension pest management
specialist Mark Graustem.
Graustem says there may be
fewer Mexican bean beetles m the
area this year than last. This
prediction is based on the fact that
overwintering populations of
adults in late soybeans are lower
this year than in the winter of 1979-
1980.
Comparisons of key locations
also indicate lower MBB
populations. This is largely due to
two factors: (1) the drought which
caused the desiccation of second
and third brood eggs, and (2) the
efforts of the USDA through its
Parasite Release Program.
Under this program, Pediobius,
a parasitic insect, is released into
the area where MBB are expected
to appear. There, the wasp
deposits its larvae in beetle larva,
causing them to die.
Graustem estimates that over
one million parasites were
released in Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, and New Jersey last
year. Delaware released over
25,000.
He says we could see a moderate
level of European com borer in
com plantings this year. Data
collected from the fall survey of
overwintering populations seems
to point toward ECB as the pest to
watch for in 1981.

The yearly average of ECB per
100 plants in Delaware is 341. The
average last fall was 231. The all
time high in 1977-78 was 707 per 100
plants.
While this year’s number is
nowhere near the high in 1977-78,
you can probably expect economic
levels of infestation in earliest
planted com. This is especially
true for the southern parts of the
state.
GraixStcm recommends that
farmers not use systemic in
secticides to control ECB. Instead,
wait to see if the borer shows up. If
it does, follow the integrated pest
management guidelines for con
trol.
Growers should be aware that
weather conditions in the spring
greatly influence pest populations
for the season. Follow integrated
pest management reports to keep
tabs on actual pest conditions this
summer.
One more word of caution. Other
pests such as aphids and army
worms can survive during severe
winters while such weather has
detrimental effects on their
enemies. If this winter continues to
be severe, Grautem suggests that
these pests could also be a problem
next summer.
For further information, contact
your county extension agent and if
you’re not already receiving the
Integrated Pest Management
Report, call your county extension
office and ask to be put on the
mailing list.
