• Late-planted corn can be subject to increased damage from lepidopteran worm pests such as:
  • European corn borer (ECB)
  • Southwestern corn borer (SWCB)
  • Fall armyworm (FAW)
  • Corn earworm (CEW)
• For optimum control, apply DuPont™ Prevathon® insect control before larvae tunnel into plant or ear.

• Apply DuPont Prevathon® insect control insect control at the V10 stage, coinciding with moth flight and egg laying, or when scouting or traps indicate presence of moths, eggs or larvae.

• Apply DuPont Prevathon® insect control prior to economic threshold of 20% to 25% infested plants or when pheromone traps indicate heavy moth flights.

• Apply DuPont™ Prevathon® insect control at first indications of larvae in field edges or adjacent areas.

• Apply DuPont Prevathon insect control when scouting from late June through mid August indicate ~8% of plants have egg masses or small larvae and/or when larvae have hatched and 95% of tassels have emerged.
• Multiple larvae per ear possible. Heavy infestations may result in 50-60% damaged kernels. Several larvae per plant can reduce grain yield by 15-20%.

• Apply DuPont Prevathon insect control as part of a comprehensive CEW control program. Within this program, DuPont Prevathon insect control could be applied when scouting indicates presence of eggs and/or at brown silks for 21 days residual control.

True Armyworm (AW) - Smooth cuticle; subdued colors. DuPont Prevathon insect control is not labeled for true armyworm.

Fall Armyworm (FAW)

• Brown/gray larva with distinct tubercles along body
• Three thin white stripes down the back and a distinct white inverted “Y” on head (see image below)
• Young larvae may be difficult to distinguish from corn earworm (CEW)

Corn Earworm (CEW)

• Bright, variable colors
• Cuticle has “unshaven” look
