Posting this FYI article for Kate Halstead, since
her attempts to post have been bouncing of late.......
I've heard several times over the years from folks
that had good luck controlling corn worms with vegetable oil or oil laced with
Bt. http://www.pfi.iastate.edu/ofr/Crops/SA14_Protecting_Sweet_Corn_from_Corn_Earworm_w_Oil_and%20Btk.pdf seems to confirm that as well. Labor intensive to be
sure, but worth considering for smaller crops if the market demand will bear the
true cost. Kate
