Nutrition as a Factor in the Responses of the European Corn Borer

J. S. Houser, L. L. Huber

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

This paper calls attention to the growing recognition of the fact that European com borer, Pyrausta nubilalis. Hubn., abundance is greatly determined by the growth condition of the host. The various responses of the insect, such as. the rate of spread. the rate of accumulation, the seasonal fluctuation in population and the ultimate sat1irationpoint are influenced by the. physico-chemical processes of the corn plant.
