Considerable effort has been expended toward the genetic characterization of native resistance to stalk tunneling by the European corn borer [ECB; Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner)], indicative of the importance of this pest and the difficulty in obtaining conclusive results. In this study, 191 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of B73 maize (Zea mays L.) (susceptible to stalk tunneling by ECB) x De811 (resistant) were evaluated for stalk tunneling, anthesis, and plant height in Iowa at two location...

Crop Science ; THE EUROPEAN CORN BORER is an important pest in temperate maize production. In the U.S. Cornbelt, ECB usually completes two generations in a growing season, with the first generation feeding primarily on leaf tissue (leaf-feeding generation) and the second feeding on leaf sheath and stalk tissues

Crop Science ; ECB IS A MAJOR PEST of temperate maize, with yield losses and control measures exceeding $1000 million annually (Mason et al., 1996). In temperate zones, the larvae of two or more sexual generations feed on leaf, sheath, and collar tissues and pollen and tunnel into the stalk and ear shank (Pesho

Pesticide resistance.
Chemistry and Industry ; Natural variation has ensured that resistance to pesticides is an increasingly important problem for the agrochemical industry, but just how is it to be overcome? The problem of resistance figures increasingly on the agenda of pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies. Natural variation ensures
