Insect Control in Field Corn

South Carolina Pest Management Handbook for Field Crops - 2014
CORN INSECT CONTROL
Francis P. F. Reay-Jones, Extension Entomologist
Grain yield reductions and losses in grain quality due to insect pests are a constant problem in the
Southeast. Control options include cultural practices to prevent or avoid injury, transgenic Bt corn, at-planting
insecticides (including seed treatments), and foliar insecticides. Insect pressure varies greatly from field to field.
Decisions concerning pest management options should therefore be made in careful consideration of the history
of insect problems in each field where corn is to be planted.
Major insect pests of corn in South Carolina.
Insect
Description of feeding habit
Methods of control
Wireworms
Feed on planted kernels resulting in
poor germination and stunted
seedlings
Insecticide, tillage, control of
winter weeds
Cutworms
Girdling of stalk at soil surface
Avoid planting corn on sod or
weedy land, selected Bt hybrids,
insecticides
Sugarcane beetles
Burrow into stalk above base of
roots
Plant early and do not plant corn
after sod
Billbugs
Chew into stalk and cause bud
leaves to wilt and die
Crop rotation, weed removal in and
around corn field, insecticides
Corn earworms
Feed on leaves in whorl and on ear
tissue near ear tip
Insecticides, selected Bt hybrids,
plant early
Fall armyworms
May feed on all above ground parts
of corn plant
Bt hybrid, insecticides, plant and
harvest early, control grassy weeds
Lesser cornstalk borers
Tunnel into corn seedling
Crop rotation and early planting,
selected Bt hybrids, insecticides
Several types of Bt corn are available, each characterized by an ‘event’ (i.e. a successful insertion of the genetic
package into a plant) and cry proteins. In a nutshell, there are Bt traits for above-ground pests, Bt traits for
rootworms and stacked Bt traits for both above-ground pests and rootworms. Please refer to table below for
efficacy of available products.
Bt traits for above-ground pests.
-
Herculex I (event TC1507, cry protein Cry1F).
Optimum Intrasect (events TC1507 and MON810, cry proteins Cry1F and Cry1Ab).
YieldGard CB (event MON810, cry protein Cry1Ab).
Genuity VT Double Pro (event MON89034, cry proteins Cry1A.105 and Cry2Ab2).
Agrisure CB/LL (event Bt11, cry protein Cry1Ab).
Agrisure Viptera 3110 (events MIR162 and Bt11, vip protein Vip3A and cry protein Cry1Ab).
43 South Carolina Pest Management Handbook for Field Crops - 2014
All products provide excellent control of stalk borers (European corn borer, southern cornstalk borer). The activity
in seedling and whorl stage is greater in Herculex I, which provides good early season control of cutworms, lesser
corn stalk borer, and fall armyworm. YieldGard CB and Agrisure CB/LL have fair activity for corn earworm
infestations in corn ears, whereas control with Herculex I is poor. A more recent Bt corn product is Genuity VT
Double Pro. This is the first Bt corn to have two genes expressing Bt toxins to control above ground Lepidopteran
pests. The major advantage relative to the previously mentioned products is that it provides very good control of
both corn earworm and fall armyworm. The new Viptera trait will also provide excellent control of corn earworm
and fall armyworm, and good control of cutworms. These hybrids may be particularly useful in late planted and
no-till corn.
Bt traits for rootworms.
-
Herculex RW (event DAS59122-7, cry protein Cry34/35Ab1).
YieldGard Rootworm (event MON863, cry protein Cry3Bb).
YieldGard VT Rootworm/RR2 (event MON88017, cry protein Cry3Bb).
Agrisure RW (event MIR604, cry protein mCry3A).
All products provide control of western corn rootworms (but no control of grubs and wireworm). Western corn
rootworms are not currently widespread pests in South Carolina, and these products should generally not be
needed.
Stacked Bt traits for above-ground pests and rootworms.
-
Herculex XTRA (events TC1507 and DAS59122-7, cry proteins Cry1F and Cry34/35Ab1).
YieldGard Plus (events MON810 and MON863, cry proteins Cry1Ab and Cry3Bb).
YieldGard VT Triple (events MON810 and MON88017, cry proteins Cry1Ab and Cry3Bb1).
Agrisure CB/LL/RW (events Bt11 and MIR604, cry proteins Cry1Ab and mCry3A).
Agrisure GT 3000 (events Bt11, and MIR604, cry proteins Cry1Ab and mCry3A).
Agrisure Viptera 3111 (events MIR162, Bt11 and MIR604, vip protein Vip3A and cry proteins Cry1Ab and
mCry3A).
Genuity VT Triple Pro (events MON89034 and MON88017, cry proteins Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and
Cry3Bb1).
Genuity SmartStax (events MON89034, MON88017, TC1507 and DAS59122, cry proteins Cry1A.105,
Cry2Ab2, Cry3Bb, cry1F, and Cry34/35Ab1).
These products combine the cry proteins (and efficacy) of the above-ground pest and rootworm Bt corn traits.
Refuge requirements for Bt corn for above-ground pests in Cotton Belt (see dealers for complete refuge
requirements)
-
For YieldGard Corn Borer, and Agrisure CB/LL, Herculex I: 50% of corn on a farm can be planted as Bt
corn.
Genuity VT Double Pro, Agrisure Viptera 3110, and Optimum Intrasect: 20% of corn on a farm can be
planted as Bt corn.
Blocks can be internal (within Bt field) or external (in separate field within ½ mile of Bt field to maximize
random mating; ¼ mile is however preferred.
In field strips: at least 4 rows wide to reduce effect of larval movement (6 rows preferred)
Refuge can be sprayed with any insecticide except Bt products
44 South Carolina Pest Management Handbook for Field Crops - 2014
Refuge requirements for Bt corn for rootworms in Cotton Belt (see dealers for complete refuge
requirements)
Bt corn for rootworm has specific regulations that differ from stalk borer Bt corn (see
http://www.epa.gov/oppbppd1/biopesticides/pips/bt_corn_refuge_2006.htm for EPA requirements). The major
difference for rootworm Bt corn is that refuges must be either adjacent to or within the Bt field, rather than
within ¼ mile of the Bt field for stalk borer Bt corn. This is due to the poor flight ability of corn rootworm adults.
Refuge requirements for stacked Bt corn for above-ground pests and rootworms in Cotton Belt (see dealers for
complete refuge requirements)
-
-
For YieldGard Plus, YieldGard VT Triple, Agrisure CB/LL/RW, Agrisure GT 3000, and Herculex Xtra: 50%
of corn on a farm can be planted as Bt corn.
Genuity VT Triple PRO, Genuity SmartStax, Agrisure Viptera 3111: 20% of corn on a farm can be planted
as Bt corn.
2 options for the refuge:
o Common rootworm/corn borer refuge
o Discrete rootworm and corn borer refuges
For common refuge and discrete rootworm refuge: use adjacent field, block perimeter, or in-field strip.
For discrete corn borer refuge: separate fields can be used in addition to other refuge options.
For shared refuge and discrete rootworm refuge: refuges must be adjacent to or within field.
For discrete corn borer refuge: separate refuges must be within 1/2 mile (but 1/4 mile preferred).
At least 4 rows (for discrete corn borer refuges, at least 6 rows are recommended).
Refuge can be sprayed with any insecticide except Bt products.

1 Most of these insect resistant products are marketed as stacks with herbicide resistant products.
2 Southwestern corn borer, European corn borer, and sugarcane borer.
3 There are several species of corn rootworm in the Southeast. Southern corn rootworm is the most prevalent species. These “rootworm” products are not
effective against southern
corn rootworm. They are effective against western corn rootworm larvae, which occur in areas such as north Alabama and north Georgia
4 Based on limited data
5 Lepidopteran Bt traits do not specifically list lesser cornstalk borer as a target pest
6 See product Insect Resistance Management (IRM) documentation from the seed companies for more details.
7 The meaning of these terms is somewhat arbitrary. Excellent usually means better than 95 percent control. Poor means about 30% control. Rankings
are meant to be relative.
