If you grow sweet corn please consider filling out the Corn Earworm Management in Sweet Corn Needs Assessment Survey.
Dr. Kelly Hamby, Associate Professor/Extension Specialist with the Department of Entomology at University of Maryland is leading a team of researchers who have developed a survey to prioritize research and extension efforts for improving corn earworm management in sweet corn throughout the Northeast. We appreciate your participation in this survey and will use results to develop a grant proposal to try to get federal funding to address these needs.
