The compound was first registered in 1974 in the United States, together with a United States patent of organophosphates for use in corn fields to deter corn rootworms. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] Between 1987 and 1996, an average of about 7.5 million pounds (about 3,400 tons) of the compound was used each year. [ 13 ]
All sweet corn varieties are susceptible to wilt in the first leaf stage. Susceptibility decreases and natural control is obtained as plants grows older. External disease control is conducted by insecticide spraying to stop early feeding of overwintering flea beetles. [5] Insecticides should be sprayed as soon as corn first breaks the soil surface.
The moth overwinters in corn plants instead of the cotton plants in order to relieve the cotton plants of their moth loads. Bt-based pesticides are available, and conventional chemical pesticides are used. Corn breeding is continuing in the search for varieties resistant to the moth. [10]

Clothianidin is authorized for spray, dust, soil drench (for uptake via plant roots), injectable liquid (into tree limbs and trunks, sugar cane stalks etc.), and seed treatment uses, in which clothianidin coats seeds that take up the pesticide via the roots as the plant grows. The chemical may be used to protect plants against a wide variety of ...
Dry weather leads to quick drying of corn plants, compelling moths to leave and seek other hosts. [35] Heavy rainfall also decreases corn earworm populations because it drowns pupae in their soil chambers, limits moth flight, washes eggs from leaves, and creates favorable conditions for fungal diseases that kill caterpillars.
Chemical structure of diflubenzuron, a commonly used benzoylurea insecticide. Benzoylureas (BPUs) are chemical derivatives of N-benzoyl-N ′-phenylurea, which are used as insecticides. [1] They do not directly kill the insect, but disrupt moulting and egg hatch, and thus act as insect growth regulators.
