Spatial and Temporal Distributions of the Fourth Generation Cotton Bollworm Eggs on Summer Corn Seed

<正> The spatial and temporal distributions of the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) eggs on summer corn seeded at early-, middle- and late-times were studied in 1998 -1999 in Hengshui, Hebei Province in North China. There were several egg peaks during the period from the middle to late August, which were coincided with the pollen-shedding or blister stage of summer corn depending on the change of bollworm occurrence. The eggs were mainly deposited on silks of ears, and leaves and sheaths above the ears.
