DISTRIBUTION AND SAMPLING OF SOUTHWESTERN CORN-BORER (LEPIDOPTERA, PYRALIDAE) IN PREHARVEST CORN Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Diatraea grandiosella was sampled from Zea mays fields in the Texas High Plains. Density estimates were made for eggs, small, medium, and large-sized larvae and pupae during both corn borer generations. Taylor's power function provided significant regressions for all size categories. The distribution of southwestern corn borer eggs and small larvae was aggregated, and older stages were progressively less clumped. -from Authors
