Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 11, Page 1165-1176, November 2025.The noctuid pest western bean cutworm (Striacosta albicosta) lays its eggs in corn fields over the season. Various generalist predators consume the eggs and larvae of this pest. To improve integrated pest management of S. albicosta, this study identified key trophic interactions between S. albicosta and predatory arthropods in corn fields.

Influence of Bt and environmental factors on Fusarium ear rot in maize
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.Abstract Fusarium verticillioides is responsible for Fusarium ear rot (FER) and fumonisin (FUM) in maize (Zea mays L.). Multiple factors, including drought stress, humidity, and insects, influence the severity of FER and FUM. This study aimed to assess the occurrence and severity of FER, FUM, and corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea Boddie) feeding in Bt ...
