Zea-later™

The Zea-later oil applicator is used to apply a small (0.5ml) of oil mixed with a labelled pesticided, such as Bt, to the silk at the top of each corn ear.  This effectively controls damage from the corn earworm caterpillar.

The Zea-later™ can be purchased at Johnny's Selected Seeds.

For more information about the use of the Zea-later™ to control caterpillars, see articles on Organic Insect Management in Sweet Corn
