Abstract
Onion juice is known to have a repellent effect to female moth of the corn stem borer Sesamia cretica Led. Such effect may protect corn from infestation and hence increase the yield . The obtained results indi­cated that planting corn into onion fields before onion last irrigation was useful since Sesamia infestation was greatly reduced to none harmful levels. The onion yield was not affected as well. The corn yield /unit area increased significantly even over corn when was planted alone and treated with the proper insecticide.
