The Borer not too bad
BY PAT LYNCH,
SOIL AND CROP
SPECIALIST
Corn borer was not a
problem in 1980.
At least this was the
consensus of the people
attending a recent corn
borer seminar at Cen-
tralia College of
Agricultural Technology.
The meeting was com-
posed of researchers,
industry people and
Extension , people. A
representative from Ch
magro, which is the
company with the main
corn borer insecticides,
summed it up.
"We don't have a corn
borer problem, we've got
a stalk rot problem".
They indicated that
from what they saw, they
wouldn't be actively
promoting corn borer
control for 1981.
However they would
probably be doing some
preliminary trials to look
at the economics of
control.
HOW BAIL WAS
THE BORER IN
1980?
From what we can
gather, there were no
more adults around than
normal. The canners at
Exeter monitor corn
borer adults. Their
results show that in the
Exeter area they had an
average number. In the
Stratford area, there was
below average number.
At both places, the
numbers were sub-
stantially less than in 1978
and 1976.
While the adult number
was small, there may
have been more egg
laying than normal. The
female adult will vary
'Ther egg laying capacity in
relation to available
moisture. If there is lots
of water available for her
to drink during the egg
laying period, she lays
More eggs. This year
there was lots of moisture
available during egg
laying time.

"The short course
program, set up in 1968,
gives college and
agricultural extension
staff a chance to pass the
latest information to
farmers," says Don
Cameron, the program's
co-ordinator. "The slate
of courses is modified
annually in response to
new interests and needs
of the farm community."
The 14 courses include
livestock sessions and
general interest courses
about farm income tax,
estate planning and
farmstead planning. A
herbicide update will be
offered over two days.
Five subjects are new
