European corn borer : biology, damage and management strategies in Sweden

The European Corn Borer (ECB) is one of the most important pests on corn in the world. An increasing interest from the farming community in Sweden, although currently cultivated in a restricted area, a change towards a warmer climate will probably make the ECB more abundant in Sweden.

description The European Corn Borer (ECB) is one of the most important pests on corn in the world. An increasing interest from the farming community in Sweden, although currently cultivated in a restricted area, a change towards a warmer climate will probably make the ECB more abundant in Sweden. The management methods promoted today with cultural controls such as ploughing and harrowing are, for now, an effective way of control ECB population but an incorporation of insecticides or biological control agents together with scouting and day-degree models before and during the growth season would be beneficial for an effective control of today and future ECB population in Sweden.

An increasing interest from the farming community in Sweden, although currently cultivated in a restricted area, a change towards a warmer climate will probably make the ECB more abundant in Sweden. The management methods promoted today with cultural controls such as ploughing and harrowing are, for now, an effective way of control ECB population but an incorporation of insecticides or biological control agents together with scouting and day-degree models before and during the growth season would be beneficial for an effective control of today and future ECB population in Sweden. Majsmott är en allvarlig skadegörare på majs. Det ökade intresset för att odla majs i Sverige tillsammans med ett föränderligt klimat som blir varmare gör att det är troligt att angreppen av majsmott kommer att öka i framtiden. Kontrollmetoderna plöjning och harvning är effektiva metoder som används idag i lantbruket i Sverige. En långsiktig effektiv kontroll bygger på att även använda andra alternativ som fångstfällor och daggradsmodeller för att beräkna populations storlekar och tillväxt. En implementering av insekticider och biologiska kontrollmetoder är fördelaktig för att minska kommande populationer och skador av majsmott.
