Abstract
Our study, the spring cultivar of the yellow corn crop was adopted in the experimental land, the aim of which was to know the best materials used in managing the corn stalk borer insect. Environmentally friendly materials were used (ash - remnants of burnt materials, in addition to table salt). In addition to our use of effective and approved pesticides in the control of stem borer in a field experiment to see the effect of the materials used on insect infestation rates It also had an effect on the killing rate of corn stalk borer larvae achieved by spraying with the experimental materials, in addition to its effect on the height of infected plants compared to the control treatmen Field surveys were conducted to find out the extent of infection with this insect in the center of Kirkuk Governorate. The experiment was repeated for the fall season 2022, with field surveys conducted for the purpose of confirming the economic importance of the insect.t. The results indicated the spread of the corn stalk borer insect in all corn-growing areas, for which tables were prepared regarding the infection rate. In the autumn season 2021 in Kirkuk Governorate.
