European corn borer resistance in sorghum compared with maize
… for resistance to leaf feeding by 1st-generation European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis Hubner, larvae under heavy infestation conditions (ca. 750 eggs/plant). All sorghum hybrids were resistant. Some sorghum hybrids were not as resistant, however, as a highly resistant inbred line of …

Sperm Passage in the Female European Corn Borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner)
Mated and unmated female European corn borers raised in the laboratory were sacrificed and arbitrarily placed into two groups. The abdomens from one group were dissected and observed in saline. The abdomens from the second group were fixed, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned on a microtome. …

Phenology of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Virginia
Flight activity of adult European corn borer field populations was monitored in Bedford County (1980 - 1981), Painter (1958 - 1980), Blacksburg (1971 - 1973, 1975) and Warsaw, Virginia (1971 - 1972, 1981). Peak occurrence of flight activity was accurately estimated by measuring the accumulation of …

Assessment of the Impact of the European Corn Borer at Three Locations in South Dakota
<p>The European corn borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) varies as an</p> <p>economically significant pest in South Dakota from south to north. In</p> <p>the northern part of the state the European corn borer (ECB) is limited</p> <p>to one generation per year. In contrast, there are localized sites</p> …

The Epizootiology of Nosema Pyrausta (Paillot) in The European Corn Borer, Ostrinia Nubilalis, in Central Illinois
… a microsporidium, is a chronic pathogen of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hubner). A four year study was conducted in Woodford County, Illinois, from 1980 through 1983 in order to elaborate the relationship between corn borer density and the incidence of N. pyrausta. Factors …

The Effects of European corn borer on whole-plant yieldand root knot nematode fitness in corn
… the effect of different levels of third instar European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), on whole-plant dry matter in corn grown for silage. Mean (± SEM) whole-plant dry matter was significantly greater by 18.8% in uninfested control plants than in plants with an …

Morphology of the Internal Reproductive System of the Male and Female European Corn Borer Ostrinia Nubilalis (Hubner)
… reproductive organs of the adult male and female European corn borer is described. The adults were laboratory reared progeny and descended from wild specimens collected in the Rochester area, Western N.Y. The male system displayed 2 major variations in the paired vasa deferentia. In 8% of 75 …

Optimizing Trichogramma ostriniae (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) releases to control European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in bell pepper
… was monitored using yellow sticky card traps and European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner, egg mass sentinels. Adult T. ostriniae dispersed quickly throughout the 0.4 ha (1 acre) sampling area. Parasitism and sticky card captures were highest close to the release point and decreased with …

A comparison of the pathological effects on the midgut of the European corn borer treated with Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus subtilis
… Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus thuringiensis, in European corn borer larvae. The study consisted of: (1) a determination of the mortality of larvae that had ingested various concentrations of bacterial spores; (2) light microscopic examination of midgut tissues of larvae treated with various …
