Summary
Ostrinia is a genus of moths in the family Crambidae, described by Jacob Hübner in 1825. Notably, members of this genus, including the European corn borer, are significant agricultural pests.
Economic Impact
The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, causes 10%-30% yield losses in maize, and in severe cases, up to 80% yield loss. These pests also carry fungal pathogens that can cause significant crop diseases.
