Southwestern corn borer include sugarcane, forage and grain sorghums, broomcorn, and Johnsongrass, teosinte, and millet well as field corn, popcorn, and sweetcorn. It remains a serious agricultural pest of corn (maize). Infestation is sometimes controlled by the use of pheromone traps that lure adult male moths. The practice of carefully timed planting dates, use of early maturing varieties, and the destruction of crop residues are well-established methods for suppressing populations of borer on many crops."Bacillus thuringiensis", a bacterium, is often applied as a pesticide. Chemical pesticides continue to be used for infestation control. Efforts have been underway to breed strains of corn (maize)
European corn borer European corn borer The European corn borer ("Ostrinia nubilalis"), also known as the European corn worm or European high-flyer, is a moth of the family Crambidae which includes other grass moths. It is a pest of grain, particularly corn (maize or "Zea mays"). The insect is native to Europe, originally infesting varieties of millet, including broom corn.
