This summer I am conducting an experiment with the corn rootworm. For this
experiment, I would like to provide the beetles with a continuous supply of
corn silk as food. I have considered planting corn weekly for a period of
several weeks, but what I have been told is that planting time will not have
a great effect on when silks will be produced. I would require silks to be
present as early as July to as late as October. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
