1973 Sweet Corn Control Report

Abstract

All tests were conducted in Ulster County, New York. Growing conditions in the spring of 1973 were characterized by exceedingly heavy rainfall; cold, wet soils; and cool temperatures. Due to these conditions, all plantings which were to be utilized for first brood borer tests yielded very poor stands and had to be replanted. Therefore, all tests were directed at second brood borer, corn earworm, and fall armyworm.
