The corn earworm causes the loss of more than 76,000 bushels of corn in the United States annually, and there is mounting evidence that increasingly extreme weather events and temperatures will ...

Farmers looking to gain the upper hand over corn rootworm (CRW) pests have new tools to deploy in the field, thanks to Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) technology. RNAi works in CRW as it feeds on ...

Researchers used genomics to investigate the genetic changes causing resistance to transgenic crops in field populations of the corn earworm, also known as cotton bollworm or Helicoverpa zea. They ...

Early corn earworm damage is evident on the leaf of a cotton plant (at left), and a sample of B. Bassiana, a parasitic fungus that attacks insects, is prepared for ...

Corn earworm moth activity is high, making blooming soybeans vulnerable. Scout at R3 and use economic thresholds and tools to ...

Researchers have developed a strategy for using genomics to monitor for and identify emerging resistance to pesticides, helping farmers prolong the effectiveness of pest management tools. Farmers rely ...

OLATHE, Colo. — Hot summer days and cool summer nights – it's part of the magic that happens behind the delicious sweet corn grown in Olathe located on the Western Slope of Colorado – but this year's ...

The flavonoids that provide insecticide-like protection to some corn lines against corn earworm larvae also provide pigments to the plants that show up in the silks, husks and kernels. Pictured here ...

If left unchecked, insect pests can devastate crops. To minimize damage and reduce the need for insecticide sprays, crops have been genetically engineered to produce bacterial proteins that kill key ...
