Acknowledgments

Much of the original knowledge about southwestern corn borers was developed by Dr. L. H. Rolston, Department of Entomology, University of Arkansas in the early 1950's shortly after the insect invaded Arkansas. Dr. Rolston studied the basic biology of this new corn pest and used the information to devise successful management programs. This information was reported in “The Southwestern Corn Borer in Arkansas”, June 1955, University of Arkansas Bulletin 553. Today, information reported in the bulletin continues to serve as the basis for corn borer management.
Dr. William Johnson, formally with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, and Dr. Frank Davis, formally with the USDA, Starkville, MS, have provided much information used in this manual. Several county agents including Hank Chaney, Mitch Crow, Roger Gipson, Brent Griffin, Brady Harmond, Kevin Lawson, Bob Rhodes, Larry Stauber, Eugene Terhune, Andy Vangilder and Joe Vestal, have assisted in locating insect damaged fields and in data collection.
Funding for recent corn borer studies and for production of this manual was provided by the Corn/Grain Sorghum Promotion Board. The authors also are ultimately indebted to the corn producers of the state of Arkansas who have permitted use of their fields and supplied funds through their check off program to the Board.
