Corn borers took heavy toll last year. 
Will they be as bad next season? 
Meet the situation with 5-Star hybrids. 
You can’t get rid of all the bugs that rob your cornfield. But you’ve got a 
big effective helper in fighting them off, when you plant 5-Star hybrids. 
Funk research uses all possible approaches to get greater practical re- 
sistance to insects in the many areas where G-Hybrids are grown. For 
example, certain G-Hybrids simply don’t attract corn borers. To help 
meet your problems, your dealer can recommend 5-Star Funk’s G-Hybrids 
with outstanding resistance to the 
common enemies of corn, including 
borers, chinch bugs, ear worms and root worms. 
The photograph at the left shows an adapted 
5-Star G-Hybrid from a field in a heavily in- 
fested corn borer area. Only one borer had 
entered the stalk—and the damage was light. 
This stalk went on producing a good ear. But 
—see what happened after borers entered a 
non-resistant stalk (shown with a resistant 
stalk in the photo on the right). Standabil- 
ity and disease resistance are on the 5-Star 
team that helps you beat these crop robbers.
