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.
