Given the corn price outlook, this is not the year to ignore any “sometimes a problem” pest like corn stalk borer -- especially if you’ve encountered it in corn before. It has a tendency to persist in ...

MINNEAPOLIS — Corn that’s been genetically engineered to resist attacking borers produces a “halo effect” that provides huge benefits to other corn planted nearby, a new study finds. Because the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A major corn-destroying pest was a minor nuisance in Indiana this year. The European corn borer, a wormlike insect that tunnels through cornstalks and chews leaves, tassels and ...

Growth, development, and survival of a neotropical ectoparasite, Iphiaulax kimballi Kirkland, obtained from Mexico was examined. Fully grown larvae of the south-western corn borer, Diatraea ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Corn farmers could learn a lesson from cotton producers: Planting crops genetically engineered to be insect-resistant works in the short run, but also could increase the number ...

Fifty years of records from cornfields in five Midwestern states show that genetically modified corn has dramatically reduced populations of a common corn-eating worm, the European corn borer. That ...

This corn turns out to be a very good neighbor. Corn that’s been genetically engineered to resist attacking borers produces a “halo effect” that provides huge benefits to other corn planted nearby, a ...

Since the borers that attack the genetically modified crops die, there are fewer of them to go after the non-modified version.Given that the corn borer has cost U.S. farmers $1 billion a year, the ...
