Corn, the 3rd most important crop grown in Ontario, surpasses fall wheat production by over one million dollars as is one of the main staples of the Ontarian consumer. The European corn borer, first discovered in Elgin county and now spreading rapidly, is turning bountiful harvests into total wastes. The female moth lays 3000-5000 eggs on the corn itself, and the larvae circulate through the corn on which they feed.Language:Silent with English intertitlesNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
