The Corn Earworm is a common agricultural pest that primarily affects corn crops. Its larvae, which are the caterpillar stage of the Helicoverpa zea moth, feed on the ears of corn, causing significant damage. These pests can also target other crops, including tomatoes and cotton, making them a widespread concern for farmers. Adult Corn Earworms are typically light brown or green with distinctive stripes. They are known for their ability to adapt to various environments and can reproduce quickly, leading to large infestations. Effective management strategies include crop rotation and the use of natural predators to control their population.
