A popular misconception is
that deep ploughing will
reduce next years corn
borer damage. Deep
ploughing may slightly
reduce the number of adults
' that emerge from your
fields. It won't reduce those
that overwinter in your
neighbour'sfields. His will fly
to your fields. As well, any
benefit from deep ploughing
will be offset by detriments
of poor soil management.

methods for corn borer are
calculated' on controlling
enough of the corn borers to

of them, To control corn
borer you have to check for
damage in July, If you have
a certain percentage of
plants with eggs or early
feeding signs, yell spray.
This spray will control a
percentage of the borers. It
will kill the borer that it
comes in contact with.
However, this spray only
lasts for a short time. It will
not kill .borers that hatch
later in the year,
So you see the preblem.

A big, difference seems to
be related to hybrid dif-

interpret as stalk strength. I
