I will work on getting ahold Liz. I am seeing why knowledge is power, my dad, a military man, was always saying " get to know your enemy" I guess this is what he meant

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct link between heat unit development and corn earworm egg-laying because the bulk of the population comes from storms that bring them up from the south. The heat unit accumulation does have other values though and are worth correlating to the crop development and timing succession plantings. I'm pretty sure Purdue's fruiit and vegetable specialists publish some info during the growing season. You might want to look up Dr. Liz Maynard and contact her to see what's available. She's a great resource for Indiana vegetable growers, including organic producers.
