For ear worm

* The larvae could be killed after collecting from the infested cobs.
* Cypermethrin (Ricord 10 EC/Cymbush 10 EC/Fenom 10 EC) @ 2 ml/litre water could be sprayed to a control this pest.

For Stem borer

* Marshall 20 EC or Diazinon 60 EC @ 2ml/litre water could be sprayed properly to control the pest.
