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
