Corn Seedling Growth Stage and Black Cutworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Damage 1

New cell lines derived from the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon, that support replication of the A. ipsilon multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and several group I nucleopolyhedroviruses

“…In the United States, it is a sporadic but significant pest on corn (Clement and McCartney, 1982;Engelken et al, 1990;Showers et al, 1983), and is considered to be the most damaging pest of turfgrass (Potter, 1998).
