Type: article

Abstract: Corn seed was planted on 12 Jun at the University of Georgia Experiment Station, Oconee Co. Experimental design was a randomized complete block with 2-row plots × 20 ft long × 38 inch row wide with 3 ft alleys and 5 replicates. Plants were treated with a full cone sprayer using a CO2 pressure sprayer at 30 psi with a final volume of 25 gal/acre directed on the plant ears. Sprays were applied 7 times beginning at the initiation of silking on 31 Jul and continuing on 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, and 14 Aug. All ears in the center 16 ft of row were examined on 16 Aug for the presence of larvae or damage.
