European corn borer (ECB) is a polyphagous pest, recognized as an economically important insect pest on maize. Occurrence, damages and voltinism on maize depend on vegetation, agro-meteorological conditions, maize variety and production practice. Although ECB biology, ecology and control have been well studied in the past decades, little is known about the population's structure, i.e. different ECB strains present in Serbia. The differentiation of ECB populations on strains is conditioned by the presence of different bland fractions and their practical use in the field. Nowadays, in Europe and the regions of North America, Z, E and H strains of ECB are detected. Z and E strains are present in maize fields. The exception is France, where Z strain was identified on maize and E strain on hop and Artemisia spp. The first preliminary identification of ECB strains in former Yugoslavia dates back to the 80s of the 20th century. In the Province of Vojvodina, pheromone traps were deployed in 2014 and 2015 for Z and E, i.e. Z, E and H strain, respectively. Preliminary data indicate the presence of Z-strain of ECB in the north of Serbia, specifically the Province of Vojvodina and the region of Bačka.
