Maize and related crops suffer from a large number of insect pests in Turkey but all are not of the same importance in different parts of the country. This paper lists about 80 species, of which only a few ( Sesamia nonagrioides, Helicoverpa armigera, Ostrinia nubilalis , cutworms ( Agrotis spp.), Tanymecus dilaticollis, Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa ) are of primary importance. The pest status and distribution of each species is described.
