Abstract

The oviposition site selection by the European corn borer and the within-field pattern of egg mass distribution were studied on field corn in western Virginia. Nearly all egg masses were found on the lowest six leaves of the plant. The within-field distribution of egg masses was found to be a random distribution, as interpreted from the variance/ mean ratio, the method of Taylor and Green's coefficient of dispersion.
