Title
Suppression of Ostrinia nubilalis by Trichogramma nubilale in sweet corn
D. R. Prokrym; D. A. Andow; J. A. Ciborowski; et al. Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 1992. doi:10.1111/j.1570-7458.1992.tb01596.x
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Released parasitoids parasitized an estimated 57.4% of placed corn borer egg masses.
- Intervention effect Parasitoid releases reduced corn borer larvae per ear by 97.4%.
- Intervention effect Parasitoid releases reduced tunnels per corn stalk by 92.9%.
- Intervention effect Parasitoid releases reduced corn borer larvae per stalk by 94.3%.
- Intervention effect Ear damage was suppressed to acceptable cut-corn processing standards.
- Mechanism Density-dependent larval loss would not compensate for egg parasitism by T. nubilale.
