03/21/2003 Corn Growers: Be alert for borer problems


Excerpt from Delta Farm Press Online dated 3-17-03: "A second option is the use of Bt hybrids. This year Extension recommends three medium maturity Bt hybrids based on yield performance at various research stations. These hybrids are Terral TV2155Bt, Terral TV2160Bt, and Pioneer 31B13. These hybrids were recommended at all test locations around the state except Baton Rouge. Recommended hybrids with the Bt technology provide excellent control of the SWCB and the SCB at all crop growth stages."
