European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is regarded as a significant pest in North America. Larvae bore into stems, stalks, or the fruit of a wide range of agricultural crops. In the Mid-Atlantic United States, potatoes are an attractive early-season crop for the first generation of ECB moths, which deposit egg masses from mid to late May (3,5). Neonates feed on leaves for a few days before tunneling into stems typically in the leaf axil at the node (Fig. 1). Most larval tunneling occurs in the lower third of main stems, and a single larva can make multiple tunnels in a single plant (5). Tunneling near the base of stems causes breakage and lodging as well as entry points for stem rot pathogens such as Erwinia carotova (3). For these reasons, Mid-Atlantic potato growers have traditionally sprayed insecticides for ECB each season. Because sampling for this pest is difficult, most growers typically spray preventatively. Some commonly-used insecticides for ECB control have included carbofuran (Furadan), methyl parathion (Penncap-M), cyfluthrin (Baythroid), permethrin (Pounce), and lambda-cyhalothrin (Warrior).
