Title: Great Lakes Vegetables: Identification and Management
Description: This Sweet Corn Pest Identification and Management guide is a quick, colorful, and handy reference for sweet corn growers, extension educators, crop consultants, and industry field representatives who work in the North Central Region and Ontario, Canada. The information presented here is brief and cannot include every possible pest or management option in fresh market or processing sweet corn production in these areas. So, this guide focuses on the most critical pests and management options. This guide contains pictures, basic descriptions, and management tips of economically important weeds, diseases, pest insects, and vertebrates. It also includes sections that describe beneficial insects, common types of herbicide injury, and general horticultural practices. Reference to products in this publication is not intended to be an endorsement to the exclusion of others that may be similar. Persons using such products assume responsibility for their use in accordance with current directions of the manufacturer. Due to rapid changes in pesticide labels, always seek product recommendations from publications specific to your state or province.
