So maybe we have to get used to seeing a few corn borers again.

It is known by the common name Asian corn borer.

But that strategy works only if corn borers disperse before they mate.

Both strains have a protein that is toxic to the European corn borer.

Too many inspectors bothering you about corn borers and Japanese beetles.

Very labor intensive, again, but get a bunch of people out there looking for the corn borer eggs on the surface.

In the case of corn, the pest is the European corn borer.

American farmers spend an estimated $50 million a year on chemicals to fight the corn borer.

The corn was modified so that it would be resistant to the corn borer.

The Southwestern corn borer has an extensive range.

Several of them, including the European Corn Borer, are agricultural pests.

The protein kills the European corn borer.

As a result, the corn variety produces a toxin which affects the corn borer.

The European corn borer attacks all of the corn plant above ground except the leaf blades.

"There's your European corn borer," he says.

This deed prevents corn borers from haboring inside the stubble over winter.

The result was an organism that could live within corn and produce a corn borer toxin without damaging the plant.

Another pesticide, M-Peril, is being developed to attack the European corn borer.

Bats do, however, eat several species of moth whose larvae destroy crops, including the corn borer and the cutworm.

When corn borers move into the corn stem, where they feed, they encounter the protein and are killed.

The corn borer moth is about one inch long with a one inch wingspan.

And one third of the corn crop has now been engineered to resist a major insect pest, the European corn borer.

Examples include corn borers and bollworms.

This moth is a close relative of the European corn borer (O. nubilalis).

The researchers released marked male and female corn borer moths in cornfields south of Toulouse, France.
