Va. Control of Subterranean Insects Affecting Seedling Corn . 



To learn (l) efficiency of following procedures: a treating 

 seed with an insecticide prior to planting; b insecticides in 

 granulated form or as sprays applied in row; c insecticide- 

 fungicide combinations as seed treatments, (2j effects by 

 observation of more promising soil insecticides and seed 

 protectants on seed germination and plant growth, (3) effect 

 upon final yields of corn obtained from controlling said insects,

 seeded varieties of Woodburn White Dent and (3) production of 

 strains of sweet corn adapted particularly to the Point 

 Pleasant area with high quality, uniformity, earliness and 

 resistance to disease and earworm damage characteristics.
