Abstract
The corn earworm, Heriothis zea (Boddie), also known as he tomato fruitworm and cotton bollworm, is a serious pest on weet corn, tomato, cotton, and several other row crops grown commercially in California. Sweet corn, however, is the preferred host and, although the larvae also feed in the tassel in the whorl, the most significant damage results from feeding on kernels in the developing ear.
