Abstract
The influence of four tillage systems and two crop rotations on populations of first- and second-generation European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), was determined. In six of the eight years, populations of European corn borer were influenced by either crop rotation or tillage. It is suspected that population dynamics were directly affected by crop maturity at time of egg deposition and early larval establishment and development.Keywords
