Description

Maureen O’Day & Kevin Steffey. A diagnostic key for the accurate & timely identification of corn insect pests, based not on insect taxonomy but on diagnosis of insect injury to corn. Diagnostic aids include damage symptoms expressed at 4 progressive growth stages of the corn plant: from planting to full emergence, from emergence to knee-high, from knee-high to tasseling, & from tasseling to maturity. Also includes condensed insect “profiles,” drawing upon photos & descriptions. Further, it describes which fields are most likely to sustain injury & discusses field distribution of pests, economic thresholds (if established), & management options. Over 100 color photos.
