Abstract

Abstract ‘Early Sunglow’ sweet corn was planted 10 Jul on the Snyder Farm at the OARDC, Wooster, Ohio. Plant spacing was 30 inches between rows and 6-8 inches between plants. Plots consisted of 4 rows, 25 ft in length, with two untreated guard rows between plots and 6 ft of untreated corn at either end of each plot. Treatments were applied during the silking period on 25, 30 Aug, 2, 5, and 9 Sep using a backpack sprayer delivering 30 gal/acre at 50 psi with a flat fan nozzle directed at the ear zone. Plots were evaluated 12 Sep by examining 30 ears from the middle two rows of each plot for any lepidopteran pests infesting the ears and for feeding damage to the kernels.
