Abstract
Two concepts are presented concerning biology of Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) on corn: (1) the black cutworm larvae that damage seedling corn in May and early June, originate from eggs oviposited in the field in the spring before the corn is planted; and (2) agronomic practices that encourage the establishment of weeds, especially winter annual and perennial weeds, increase the potential for presence of the black cutworm.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
