 Insect Damage to Corn in Three Southeastern States at Time of Harvest and in Farm StorageW. G. Eden No 313540, Marketing Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Transportation and Marketing Program Abstract: Excerpts from the report: A study was planned to cover the harvest and storage of 1 year's corn crop in three Southeastern States. One objective was to develop a reliable dollar value for the losses from insect attack. Data would be sought on the factors that influence or govern insect attack and damage to stored corn. From such a project, guidelines might be developed on phases of research needed to develop practical means for preventing such losses. The study was conducted in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi, three large corn-producing States in the Southeast. Only farm-stored corn was considered. The basic objectives of this study were (1) determine the species, abundance, and relative importance of various stored-corn insects throughout the year in three Southeastern States; (2) to establish insofar as possible the actual monetary value of the damage caused by insects in stored corn; and (3) to determine the kinds and extent of insect control measures presently used and their effectiveness.
