Abstract
In the studies of the relationship between borer injury and corn yield, critical evaluations of the separate effects of leaf feeding and stalk feeding on ear growth are still lacking. This follows from the feeding habits of the com borer, which make it difficult to find plants with stalk injury alone. Such plants, however, may be produced if borer larvae can be transplanted into tunnels made artificially on plants which are free from leaf injury.
