Corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) herbivory on corn is costly in terms of the lack of crop yield and the high amount of economical damage.
Evaluation of transgenic sweet corn hybrids expressing CryIA(b) toxin for resistance to
corn earworm and fall armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
In the
corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) and other crop pests, the hormone has been shown to break diapause, essentially waking up the bugs from their pupal state after they have bean protectively burrowed underground during cold weather.
This technology offers the same refuge management benefits as Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete but provides protection against above ground pests, including
corn earworm.
Each trap was baited with Hercon Zealure Luretape (Hercon Environmental, Emigsville, Pennsylvania), a high-quality synthetic pheromone lure designed to attract male
corn earworm moths (Gauthier et al.
1984) and
corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Drapek et al.
SMOTHER
CORN EARWORM To prevent damage, use a medicine dropper to slip two drops of mineral oil inside the tip of each ear, three to seven days after silks appear.
Furthermore, control of certain insect pests by corn producing the Bt toxin Cry1Ab may have conferred a competitive advantage to the western
corn earworm (Striacosta albicosta), a pest that is not affected by this Bt toxin (Dorhout and Rice 2010).
Incidentally, geranium budworm is quite similar to
corn earworm, a pest that has been known to gobble up ears of corn in certain Valley gardens.

corn earworm.
Corn earworm (Heliothis zea (Boddie)) normally a late season pest, did not develop during 2004.
