... Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), often called the Asian corn borer (ACB), is the most damaging pest of corn in NE China. ACB larvae initially feed on silks and tassels, and then bore into the stalk and tunnel inside, resulting in dropped ears or stalk lodging, which can cause ca. a 10% yield loss (Wen, 1992;He et al., 2002;Wang et al., 2008;Chen et al., 2013a). In addition, feeding damage and larval frass exacerbate fungal infections and ear contamination which dramatically decreases the quality and value of corn, especially in the important fresh corn market. ...
... Ostrinia furnacalis is also distributed throughout Asia, especially in South Korea, The Philippines, India, Indonesia, Japan, Australia, and the Solomon Islands (Klun et al., 1980;Nafus and Schreiner, 1991;Boo, 1993a, 1993b;Boo and Park, 1998;Ishikawa et al., 1999). In NE China, ACB has been the primary insect in the complex of sweet and field corn pests for 60 years (Wen et al., 1992;Wang et al., 2008). Although called the Asian corn borer, it also uses sorghum, ginger and docks (Rumex spp.) as preferred hosts (Ishikawa et al., 1999). ...
... During the early years in China, there was only one generation of O. furnacalis, and consequently, control techniques were focused solely on the 1st generation. However, with climate and cultivation changes, especially increased temperatures, a 2nd generation of ACB has appeared during the corn growing season (Wen et al., 1992;Wang et al., 2008;Chen et al., 2013a). So, if corn plants remained the dominant hosts, the 2nd generation damage by O. furnacalis would also need to be controlled. ...

Many Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), Asian corn borer, moths inhabit non-corn fields during the second generation, and could fly into corn fields and cause damage. Therefore, during 2013-2014, O. furnacalis pheromone baited Delta traps were distributed to investigate captures in different host habitats, such as corn fields preceded by various crops, or soybean fields neighboring corn. Months captured from various host fields were evaluated in the laboratory for fecundity, female longevity and mating behavior. The sex ratio of females to males from black light baited water traps deployed in soybean and corn fields was also compared. More males were found in the soybean fields, and catches decreased in traps going from the field center toward a corn field. This indicates that males in soybeans were not moving into nearby corn fields. No significant differences were noted in sex ratios, life span and fecundity of females between locations. Therefore the O. furnacalis females apparently lay eggs in their initial habitat but may move to soybeans for mating. © 2015 Korean Society of Applied Entomology, Taiwan Entomological Society and Malaysian Plant Protection Society.
... The upper, middle and lower stalk areas were selected because corn borer stalk injury (holes and tunnels) from O. furnacalis occurs in all three areas. Injury occurs primarily in the middle of the stalk (Wen et al., 1992). However, corn borer injury is also common for the internode below the tassel, and for first generation O. furnacalis there is a tendency for larvae to move from tassel to lower on the stalk. ...

Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is an important insect pest of maize throughout most of Asia. The rind of a maize stalk is a key barrier against corn borer larvae boring into the plant. There is a need to better understand the relationship between stalk strength and O. furnacalis larval injury, particularly for elite maize genotypes. To determine whether stalk strength is involved in maize resistance to O. furnacalis larval injury, 39 maize lines were evaluated in 2012 and 2013. Rind penetration strength (RPS) was measured at tassel (VT) and milk (R3) stages as a possible stalk resistance trait for O. furnacalis. RPS of primary ear internode at VT and R3 accounted for 37 and 38% of the variance in O. furnacalis injury (measured as number of holes) for simulated (artificially infested) first and second generation O. furnacalis, respectively. Relationships between stalk RPS values and tunnel length were weak. Results suggest that harder stalks have enhanced resistance to stalk boring but not to pith feeding or tunneling of O. furnacalis larvae. The RPS measures could provide classical maize breeders an important tool for evaluating stalk strength and corn borer resistance in maize. The assessments should focus on the internodes primary ear or above/below primary ear during both VT stage for first generation and R3 stage for second generation O. furnacalis resistance.
... O. furnacalis, a sibling species of O. nubilalis, is the most destructive corn pest in China. The larvae feed on leaves, silks, tassels, and also bore into cornstalks and ears, which can cause approximately 10% grain yield losses. [17][18][19][20] In addition, infested ears aggravate the occurrence of corn ear rot and dramatically decrease the grain quality. Previous studies showed that O. nubilalis and O. furnacalis had similar sensitivity to Cry1Aa, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ba, and Cry1F toxins. ...

Transgenic crops that produce Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins are effective tools for controlling lepidopteran pests. However, the degree of susceptibility to Bt toxins differs among various pest species due to relatively narrow spectrum and high selectivity of such toxins. Bt corn hybrids for Chinese market were designed to target Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), while their efficacy against other lepidopteran pests are not well defined, such as Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), Agrotis ypsilon (Rottemberg), and Mythimna separata (Walker), which are also important lepidopteran pests on corn in the Huang-Huai-Hai Summer Corn Region of China. To determine what type of Bt corn is suitable for this region, the efficacy of five Bt toxins, i.e., Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1F, Cry2Ab, and Vip3A, to these five lepidopteran species was evaluated in laboratory. Both O. furnacalis and C. punctiferalis showed similar high susceptibility to all five Bt toxins. A. ypsilon and M. separate were less sensitive to Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac than the other species. H. armigera, A. ypsilon and M. separate were less sensitive to Cry1F than O. furnacalis and C. punctiferalis. H. armigera was more sensitive to Cry2Ab than other tested species. All five species were equally sensitive to Vip3A, though their LC50s were all relatively higher. These findings suggest that the first generation Bt corn expressing single Cry1 toxin should not be the first choice because of the potential risk of control failure or less efficacy against H. armigera, A. ypsilon or M. separate. The second-generation Bt corn expressing Cry1 and Cry2 toxins, or the third generation Bt corn expressing Cry1, Cry2 and Vip3A toxins might produce better protection of corn in the Huang-Huai-Hai Summer Corn Region of China.
... especially ear stalks, resulted in ears dropping and plants lodging. This later damage has caused at least 8-10% yield losses in China (Wen et al. 1992, He et al. 2002, Wang et al. 2008. ...

Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), commonly referred to as the Asian corn borer, is the most important corn pest in Asia. Although capturing males with pheromone traps has recently been the main monitoring tool and suppression technique, the best trap designs remain unclear. Commercially available Delta and funnel traps, along with laboratory-made basin and water traps, and modified Delta traps, were evaluated in corn and soybean fields during 2013-2014 in NE China. The water trap was superior for capturing first-generation O. furnacalis (1.37 times the Delta trap). However, the basin (8.3 ± 3.2 moths/trap/3 d), Delta (7.9 ± 2.5), and funnel traps (7.0 ± 2.3) were more effective than water traps (1.4 ± 0.4) during the second generation. Delta traps gave optimal captures when deployed at ca. 1.57 × the highest corn plants, 1.36× that of average soybean plants, and at the field borders. In Delta traps modified by covering 1/3 of their ends, captures increased by ca. 15.7 and 8.1% in the first and second generations, respectively. After 35 d in the field, pheromone lures were still ca. 50% as attractive as fresh lures, and retained this level of attraction for ca. 25 more days. Increased captures (first and second generation: 90.9 ± 9.5%; 78.3 ± 9.3%) were obtained by adding a lure exposed for 5 d to funnel traps baited with a 35-d lure.
... The Asian corn borer has been the primary component in the complex of corn insect pests for Ϸ60 yr, and causes damage during the late Þrst and subsequent generations in NE China (Wen et al. 1992;Wang et al. 2006Wang et al. , 2008. Damage is caused by larvae boring into the stalk and tunneling inside, feeding on the pith, and resulting in dropped ears or lodging. ...

Matin disruption and mass trapping of Ostrinia furnacalis (Génuéé), often called the Asian corn borer, were incorporated with insecticides to reduce pesticide use. Pesticides alone are often ineffective owing to problems in timing applications before the larvae enter the protection of corn stalks. In addition, overuse of insecticides has caused environmental contamination and concerns about consumer health. In 2010, 15 insecticides were compared with mating disruption or mass trapping at various dispenser (disp.) densities for reducing egg masses, trap captures, and ear damage. Mass trapping with 30 and 40 disp./ha, mating disruption with 300 disp./ha, or endosulfan, chlorpyrifos, and monosultap (0.55, 0.35, and 0.55 kg/ha, respectively) gave ≈50% ear protection. In 2011, an insecticide alone, no treatments, pheromone alone, and pheromone + insecticide were examined. The same insecticides in combination with mating disruption or mass trapping at ≧200 or≧20 disp./ha gave >90% ear protection even when chemical applications were reduced to 1 from 3, and the rates were reduced 50-75%. Pheromone dispensers contained >50% of their initial load 30 d after exposure.

The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is a notorious pest of maize that migrates seasonally in Asia. Two migration peaks were found on Beihuang island in the Bohai Strait of China by observing the number of migrants. However, the origins and host plants of the migrants in the two migration periods remain unclear. Here, stable hydrogen (δ2H) and carbon (δ13C) isotope levels were measured to infer the origin and host plants of the O. furnacalis captured on Beihuang island in 2017–2019. δ2H in wings of spring-summer O. furnacalis captured from May to June ranged from −99 to −56‰, while that of autumn migrants from August to September ranged from −127 to −81‰. Based on the linear relationship between δ2H in the wing of migrants (δ2Hw) and δ2H in precipitation (δ2Hp), the spring-summer O. furnacalis likely originated from the summer maize area in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in China. In contrast, the autumn migrants came from the northern spring maize area in Liaoning, Jilin and Inner Mongolia. Based on δ13C, the spring-summer migrants fed on both C3 plants such as wheat (47.76%) and C4 weeds or belonged to the over winter individuals in maize field (52.24%), while the autumn migrants mainly fed on maize (C4, 91.21%). The results point to a northward migration in spring-summer and southward migration in autumn of O. furnacalis. Our study gives an important knowledge for improving the forecasting and management level of this pest.

The Asian corn borer (ACB), Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), is a notorious polyphagous insect pest in China and other regions of East Asia. The long-distance flight behavior of the ACB moths, however, is not well understood, especially in the field conditions. In this study, nightly monitoring data for multiple years (2003-2017) on the long-distance flight of adults crossing the Bohai Strait in northern China, showed that a large number of the adults frequently flew across the Bohai Strait from May to September with the peak migrations usually occurred, followed in order by September, June, July, and May, and the number of southward migrants was larger than that of northward migrants. From May to September in 2010, 2011, and 2017, a subsample of trapped ACB females was dissected (879 individuals in 2010, 197 individuals in 2011, and 247 individuals in 2017), and the results showed that the sex ratio of the trapped ACB moths was unbiased each month from May to September. While the proportion of mated females in northward populations (May to July = 92.85 ± 4.86%) was significantly higher than that in southward population (August and September = 74.53 ± 8.55%) . The seasonal pattern in the proportion of sexually mature females was similar to the above proportion of mated females. We conclude that the ACBs have a strong propensity and ability for long-distance migration, although local dispersal is generally considered to be the primary movement of the ACB. These findings may be helpful to improve the forecasting systems and the pest management schemes for the ACBs.

Contents of three 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones in tissue samples from different parts (young leaf, second leaf, old leaf, stem and root) of young maize plants of 4-leaves stage, fed by the third instar larvae of the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS). Samples were taken immediately (set A) or 48 h (set B) after larvae had fed on the second leaf for 48 h. The three 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones investigated in our experiments were 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4(2H)-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA), 2,4-dihydroxy-1,4(2H)-benzoxazin-3-one (DIBOA) and 2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4(2H)-benzoxazin-3-one (HMBOA). In samples of set A, the levels of DIMBOA and HMBOA were significantly lifted in the old leaf (L3) and young leaf (L1), respectively, while amounts of these two chemicals in other plant parts were not significantly different between larvae-fed plants and intact plants. Concentrations of DIBOA in each plant part remained unchanged. In samples of set B, no concentration differences for any of these three 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones between larvae-fed plants and controls were observed in any plant part. The feeding of the Asian corn borer seems to have limited effects on induction of these three 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones in young maize plants of the variety investigated.
