Symptoms of Corn Earworm Damage

Corn Earworms - corn

It is the larvae that causes the damage to crops. Holes can be found on the leaves and the excretions of the larvae can be found on the leaves and whorls.

 

As corn develops, the larvae will eat the kernels on the tips of the ears and proceed down the ear, eating the kernels and leaving a trail of residue along the way. Using a product such as Safer® Brand Garden Dust with B.T. or Safer® Brand Bug Patrol can organically eliminate these destructive pests and have your corn as hearty as ever!

 

 

 

 

Results of an Corn Earworms Infestation

If the larvae attack the silk, they may prevent pollination and growth. If a larva eats its way down the ear and leaves its trail of residue, the corn is no longer edible.
