Southern
Corn Leaf Beetle adults feed on stem and
leaf tissues of seedling corn plants. Injured corn plants are ragged because of
the notched out leaves. If sufficient numbers of southern corn leaf beetle
adults are present, seedling corn plants can be killed. Some entomologists have
suggested that southern corn leaf beetle injury has often been misdiagnosed as
cutworm injury, especially with respect to stem-feeding injury.
