Stalk Borer Predictor Map
Scouting for Stalk Borers in Corn
June 12, 2015
Scouting should be underway in southern Nebraska for stalk borers in corn. Begin scouting grassy field borders and corn at 1,300-1,400 degree days. Plan to make insecticide treatment decisions in corn when 1,400-1,700 degree days have occurred.
For more information on scouting and treatment, see Managing Stalk Borers in Corn.
