  • European Corn Borer (Order: Lepidoptera, Family: Crambidae, Ostrinia Nubilalis (Hubner))
    European corn borer (Order: Lepidoptera, Family: Crambidae, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner)) Description: Adult: The moths are fairly small, with males having a wingspan of 20-26 mm and females 25-34 mm. Adults caught in south Georgia are generally smaller than the ‘typical’ European corn borer from the mid-west corn belt. Females are pale-yellow to light brown, with darker zig-zag lines across the forewing and hind wing. Males are darker, usually pale brown, with dark zig- zag lines across the forewing and hind wing. Both sexes also have yellowish to gold colored patches on the wings, which are more apparent against the darker background in the male. Immature stages: Eggs are oval, flattened and creamy white when first laid and darken with age. They are deposited in small clusters with the eggs overlapped like fish scales. Larvae tend to be light brown or pinkish-gray, European corn borer adult. with a brown to black head capsule. Full grown larvae are about 2 cm in length. The body is marked with darker circles on each segment along the midline of the back. Larvae are frequently referred to has having a ‘greasy’ look. Larvae can be easily confused with other borers present in plant stalks. Biology: Life cycle: Eggs are generally deposited in irregular clusters of about 15 to 20 on the underside of leaves and hatch in 4 to 9 days depending on the temperature. Larvae usually develop through 5 or 6 instars with a development period of over 30 days and a pupal stage of about 12 days.

Pupa (if applicable) Type of feeder (Chewing, sucking, etc.): Nymph and adult: Piercing-sucking Host/s: Spined soldier bugs are predators and feed on many species of insects including the larval stage of beetles and moths. These insects are found on many different crops including alfalfa, soybeans, and fruit. Some important pest insect larvae prey include Mexican bean beetle larvae, European corn borer, imported cabbageworm, fall armyworm, corn earworm, and Colorado potato beetle larvae. If there is not enough prey, the spined soldier bug may feed on plant juices, but this does not damage the plant.

  • Ecology and Management of European Corn Borer in Iowa Field Corn
    Ecology and management of European corn borer in Iowa field corn [3] ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE This publication discusses the European corn borer life cycle, injury to corn, and management options with a focus on Iowa field corn production. European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Figs. 1–2), is a moth in the family Crambidae (formerly Pyralidae). European corn borers in the Midwest affect corn production (i.e., field corn, popcorn, seed corn, and sweet corn), as well as sorghum, wheat, and many vegetables. Caterpillars can feed on almost any part of the corn plant, except roots, and cause severe economic injury (Fig. 3). Figure 2. European corn borer adult. [2] DISTRIBUTION IN NORTH AMERICA European corn borer is native to western Asia and Europe. It was unintentionally brought to the United States in the early 1900s, probably in broom corn, which was used to make hand brooms. The insect was discovered in Massachusetts and it quickly spread westward. European corn borers reached Iowa in 1942 and has been a consistent economic pest. This pest now occurs in nearly all corn-growing regions east of the Figure 1. European corn borer caterpillar. [1] Rocky Mountains. Prior to the widespread planting of Bt corn, this insect was estimated to cost growers in the United States one billion dollars annually in yield losses plus control costs. With the advent of transgenic Bt corn hybrids in 1996, European corn borer populations significantly declined throughout the Midwest during the following decade. Even those farmers not using Bt corn benefitted from the dramatically lower population of European corn borers in the landscape.

  • Vegetable Pests: European Corn Borer W
    W 393 Frank A. Hale, Professor Gary Phillips, Graduate Research Assistant Rob Pivar, Graduate Research Assistant Jerome F. Grant, Professor Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology The European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Order Lepidoptera: Family Crambidae, previously Pyralidae), is a common agricultural pest found abundantly in the American Midwest Corn Belt as well as the South and Mid-South. It is a severe pest of corn, Zea mays, and may infect other crops that include potatoes, peppers, lima and snap beans, cotton, oats, hops, soybeans, and tomatoes. Ornamental flowering plants, such as gladiolus and asters, are also affected by this pest. In fact, this invasive insect infests more than 200 plant species in the United States. Damage inflicted by European corn borers costs American farmers and horticulturalists upwards of $1 billion annually. The European corn borer is an introduced North American pest that probably originated in Hungary or Italy and arrived in the United States in shipments of broom corn, which was used to manufacture brooms in the early 20th century. It was first discovered in the vicinity of Boston, Massachusetts. During the next 20 years, it spread from the Atlantic seaboard to Wisconsin, and soon after, moths were found throughout the eastern United States and southern Canada as far south as the Gulf states and west to the Rocky Mountains. After World War II, it became more established in the southern United States, including Tennessee. Currently, the European corn borer is found in all the major corn-producing states of the Plains, Midwest and South. Damage The European corn borer larva (Figure 1), which feeds on all succulent, above-ground tissues of corn plants, especially the ear, is the destructive stage of this insect.

  • BT Corn: a Solution to a Growing Problem
    Prized Writing 2014-2015 BT Corn: A Solution to a Growing Problem have used as a topically applied pesticide for the better part of the past century. BT Corn: A Solution to Despite its widespread use in organic production systems, and the fact that the gene transfer is itself a natural phenomenon, insect resistant “Bt Corn” is the a Growing Problem subject of vigorous public debate. Should we be manipulating the genomes of our food supply? Are there risks and if so how do they compare to those of non- ANOOJ DESAI engineered crops? What can we learn from two decades of use of such plants in agricultural systems and our food supply? What is the underlying biology of the transferred genes and their mode of action? How much does scientific fact enter into the public debate, versus biased advocacy and personal values? These and other topics are among those covered in Agricultural Biotechnology and Public Policy, taught every spring quarter through the Department of Plant Pathology. WRITER’S COMMENT: As a biotechnology major, the majority of my classes – Douglas Cook, Department of Plant Pathology completely disregard the value of writing experience. In most cases, my Monday through Friday workload revolves entirely around some variant Abstract of biology or chemistry. When I enrolled in Agricultural Biotechnology and Public Policy, I was provided with the unique experience to actually draft a Bt toxin (Bt), a protein produced by the environmental bacterium Bacillus paper that focused entirely on the genetic engineering of widely used crops, thuringiensis (Bt), has become the predominant tool to control insect pests of such as corn.
