Savinelli, C.E. | Bacheler, J.S. | Bradley, J.R. Jr
Ovipositional preferences of the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner), for several phenological stages of field corn and cotton in field cages were examined in North Carolina from 1981 through 1983. Adults preferred to oviposit on field corn in the silking stage, then shifted to cotton (especially flowering cotton) when the corn silks dried and plants senesced.
