The interviews also revealed that the chefs wanted fresh huitlacoche 'cleaned' off the cob and ready to use.
Stem- and cobborer larvae were separated and reared on stem or cob pieces until adult moth or parasitoid emergence.
A 50 % fall in green cob maize price reduced net incomes by more than 63 % in all the treatments.
The total produce of maize cobs and pods of any intercrops from each plot were weighed and subsamples taken to determine oven-dry grain weight.
The percentage of stem tunnelled, internodes bored and cobs damaged did not significantly vary among treatments in the insecticide-treated plots (table 5).
Green maize cobs were counted and total weight taken.
The numbers of hills, plants, and cobs were counted.
Moreover, the legumes were sown when maize was either tassling or developing cobs, by which time the legume was likely to suffer from shade effects.
During the first and second seasons of 1997, stem tunnelling was significantly higher and cob weight significantly lower for maize without elephant grass (table 3).
The data represent yields of sweetcorn cobs, expressed as kg per plot multiplied by 10.
The grain was separated from the pods or cob, and the latter termed 'threshing residues'.
On the cob, with certain procedures, it could be stored for a week to 10 days.
Filled pods were removed from the grain legumes, and cobs were removed from the maize leaving the enfolding sheath attached to the plants.
Likewise, severity of borer damage, as evidenced by the % stem tunnelled and % cob damaged, was directly proportional to numbers of attacking larvae.
Similarly, cob damage, estimated as a percentage of grain eaten and lost, tended to be significantly lower when a grass border was present.
