Includes insect pest profiles of the 20 most harmful pests to corn production in the Midwest. Describes fields most likely to sustain injury and discusses economic thresholds and management options.Full-color photos and detailed descriptions make this book a "must-have" for crop consultants, scouts, ag input dealers, producers and pesticide applicators.Looking for the very latest update on corn insect pests in Illinois counties?
