Sweet Corn

“European corn borer (ECB) is a major pest insect of many different host crops in the United States, including the northeast. These include sweet and field corn, snap beans, peppers, potatoes, apples, hemp, small grains and ornamental plants.”

“Brown marmorated stink bug feeds on a wide variety of host plants, including a variety of fruits (e.g., apples, stone fruits including peaches and apricots, figs, mulberries, citrus fruits, and persimmons), crops (e.g., beans, corn, tomatoes and soybeans) and many ornamental plants and weeds.”

“Their feeding injures the fruits and seeds of various crops, including apples, peaches, apricots, grapes, tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, soybeans, and corn.”

“Specifically, they feed on thin-skinned crops including grapes, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, pears, plums, apples, and corn.”

“Hosts: Over 300, including vegetables (beans, asparagus, pepper, tomato, sweet corn, peas), tree fruits (apple, pear, cherry, peach), small fruits (raspberry, currants, grapes), ornamental shrubs (serviceberry, viburnum, rose, butterfly bush), ornamental trees (crabapple, maple, redbud), field crops (soybean, corn).”

“Known host plants of BMSB include apple, pear, stone fruits (peach, plum, cherry, etc.), berries, corn, tomatoes, beans, squash and melon, pepper, and eggplant.”

“This mycoplasma-like pathogen causes distortion and discoloration of leaves and stunted, hairy, and bitter roots in both carrots and parsnips. Lettuce, celery, celeriac, parsley, corn, and potato are also susceptible.”

“Incorporating the rye before it’s 18 in. high could decrease tie-up of soil N (361, 422). In Pennsylvania (118) and elsewhere, kill at least 10 days before planting corn.”

“If armyworms have been a problem, for example, burning down rye before a corn crop could move the pests into the corn.”

“They can infect over 80 species of annual and perennial grasses including barley, corn, oats, rye, and wheat, but yield impacts are restricted to wheat, barley, and oats.”

“Because it can increase numbers of cut worms and wire worms in no-till planting conditions, rye is not the most suitable cover where those worms are a problem ahead of grass crops like corn, sweet corn, sorghum or pearl millet.”

“Wireworms (Melanotus communis, Limonius spp.) Highly wireworm- susceptible crops (e.g., root crops, corn, melons) following grassy sod or small grain crops Larvae in soil in the field Wireworms can continue to be damaging in a particular field for many years, since some species remain in the larval stage for 3–6 years.”

“Rootworm beetles are attracted to plants in the Cucurbitaceae family, such as cucumbers, melons, and pumpkins. Since rootworms typically lay eggs where they are feeding, corn planted after a cucurbit crop can result in high rootworm populations to rotated corn.”

“This insect is a major pest that feeds on corn and dry beans, in which its larvae are highly detrimental to crop yield and quality.”

“Despite the name, WBC does not feed on soybeans; rather, they have a clear preference for dry beans and corn.”

“Research by Mt.Pleasant and Burt (2010) found that maize yields were not affected by the presence of bean and pumpkin, yielding as well in the polyculture as in monoculture. However, bean and squash yields were greatly reduced when grown with maize compared to their yields in monocultures.”

“Fungicides will not provide effective control of common smut. Remove and dispose of infected stalks. Plant resistant varieties. Avoid injuring plants during cultivation. Rotate away from corn for at least three years”

“Corn rootworms (Diabrotica spp.) Corn following corn Eggs in soil in the field In the northeast US, a single-year rotation with a non-host should be adequate, but rootworms in the Midwest are adapting to defeat repeated corn-soybean rotations.”

“European corn borer (ECB) is a major pest insect of many different host crops in the United States, including the northeast. These include sweet and field corn, snap beans, peppers, potatoes, apples, hemp, small grains and ornamental plants.”

“Host Plants: Fall armyworm has a very wide host range but seems to prefer grasses. The most preferred plants are field and sweet corn, sorghum, bermudagrass, and crabgrass, but numerous field crops, fruits, and weeds have been known to serve as hosts.”

“They can infect over 80 species of annual and perennial grasses including barley, corn, oats, rye, and wheat, but yield impacts are restricted to wheat, barley, and oats.”

“The pest is called corn earworm when it feeds on corn. It can cause serious injury to tomatoes, hemp, tobacco, cotton, soybeans and corn.”

“Their current alley cropping system is also organic and consists of rows of eastern black walnut using organic farming principles in the alley ways that have produced water melons, black-eyed peas, cream peas, purple hull peas, sweet corn and other short rotational crops.”

“The crops planted in the alleys were forages (smooth bromegrass - Bromus inermis Leyss.); grains (soybean Glycine max (L.) Merr. ‘Makin’ ); milo - Sorghum bicolor L.); or vegetables (tomatoes - Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. ‘Mountain Pride’; western shipping type muskmelon Curcurbita pepo L. ‘Magnum 45’; large and decorative pumpkins; and sweet corn - Zea mays L.).”

“This co-mingling of species theoretically provides several advantages depending on the species planted with the walnut. For example , wheat, corn, or hay crops provide income to pay the bills early in the life of the plantation; black locust, autumn olive, vetch, and European black alder fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules and provide shade and improve form through side branch pressure; and Christmas trees or ornamental shrubs provide income after a few years.”

“Bhardwaj (2006) discovered that Austrian winter pea as a winter legume cover crop in Virginia resulted in higher yields of muskmelon and sweet corn than 102 lb/acre N fertilizer and no fertilizer, but lower yields than white lupine and hairy vetch.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with cabbage and related species to decrease white mold (67).”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with bean to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotation with non-host crops such as sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, or small grains will reduce number of sclerotia in fields. Avoid planting beans in fields with a white mold history for at least 3 years.”

“The corn provides structural support, and bean fixes nitrogen in the soil for the other plants. Sister squash provides ground cover, increasing soil moisture and suppressing weed growth.”

“C-, potato works well after corn because it tolerates corn stover (82).”

“Verticillium wilt and scab of potato Both these diseases were reduced when corn or alfalfa was grown the previous year rather than potato.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with bean to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotating host crops with non-host crops (corn, small grains, and alfalfa) is the most effective method of controlling SCN. Under average Ohio conditions, SCN populations may decline by 50 percent per year under non-host crops. In fields where SCN populations are high, it may take three years or more of non-host crops between soybean crops to reduce SCN populations significantly.”

“It is important to note that the pathogen has a very broad host range and infects crops such as alfalfa, canola, edible beans, cole crops, peanuts, pulse crops and sunflower. In addition, good weed management is recommended because several weeds are hosts for the pathogen. Corn and wheat can be used in crop rotation with soybean to minimize inoculum build-up over time.”

“Care should be taken when selecting crops to rotate with soybeans. Most broad-leaf crops such as alfalfa, sunflower, dry beans, are also hosts of white mold. Small grains and corn are good nonhost crops for white mold.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with beet to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotate tomatoes with non-host crops such as corn or small grains for at least 4 years.”

“Resistant plants to juglone include beans, beets, cedar, cherry, corn, daffodil, elm, ferns, forsythia, hawthorn, hemlock, iris, locust, most maples, oaks, onions, orchard grass, pachysandra, sycamore, viburnums, and wheat (PNW Disease Management Handbook, 2016).”

“Pink spotted ladybeetle numbers were significantly more abundant in corn plots adjacent to buckwheat insectary borders compared to those bordering cowpea throughout the study. However were similar when compared to weedy fallow and biculture treatments. Insidious flower bug was initially found on July 18th and began to decline by July 30th. Insectary border treatment did not appear to affect insidious flower bug numbers.”
