Delia platura, the seedcorn maggot or the bean seed fly, is a fly species in the family Anthomyiidae. [2] D. platura is an agricultural pest of peas and beans. It is a vector of bacteria that cause potato blackleg. [3] [4] No-till fields are generally less attractive to egg-laying females. [5]
Common specialist species that are detrimental to crops include D. radicum (cabbage fly) and D. floralis (turnip root fly), which feed on the roots and/or leaves of Brassica crops, D. antiqua (onion fly), D. platura (seed-corn fly), D. florilega (bean-seed fly), which feed on allium roots and leaves, and D. coarctata (wheat-bulb flies) which ...
The life cycle of the Angoumois grain moth begins from an egg, hatching into burrowing larvae that feed on the cereal grain or seed. Pupation then occurs, where the larva is sheltered in a silk cocoon within a grain and after 10 days or as little as 5 days, emerges as an Adult moth. [24] Time elapsed for the life cycle from egg to adult is 35 ...
During her adult life of 18 to 24 days, a female can lay a total of 400 to 600 eggs. [7] The female European corn borer moth first lays eggs in June. The eggs are laid on the underside of corn plant leaves near the midvein. Around 90% of the eggs are laid on the leaf just below the primary ear leaf, and an equal number of eggs are laid above ...

Iowa-based MazePlay designs Richardson's maze, using sterile corn, which doesn't fertilize, so it's plowed under at the end of the season and replanted from seeds at the start of a new one.
Usually the life cycle of an Indian-meal moth colony starts in a location where grain is present. The temperature within a grain bin must exceed 50 °F (10 °C). The eggs of the moth are grayish white and have a length between 0.3 and 0.5 millimetres (1 ⁄ 64 and 3 ⁄ 128 in). Eggs can be laid directly on the food source singly or in groups ...
