  abstract = {{P}henological match/mismatch between cultivated plants and their pest could impact pest infestation dynamics in the field. {T}o explore how such match/mismatch of plant and pest phenologies may interact with plant defense dynamics, we studied the infestation dynamics of maize by one of its main pests in {E}urope, the {E}uropean {C}orn {B}orer ({O}strinia nubilalis; {L}epidoptera: {C}rambidae). {A} two-year field experiment was carried out on a collection of 23 maize inbred lines contrasted for their earliness. {E}ach inbred line was sown at three different dates in order to expose different developmental stages of maize to natural {E}uropean corn borer infestation. {T}he effect of the sowing date depended on the inbred line, the pest generation, and the year. {I}n 2021, the final pest incidence ranged from 36% to 91% depending on inbred lines and sowing date. {I}n 2022, it ranged from 2% to 77%. {T}his variability in final pest incidence can be related to variations in plant development during plant exposure to pest infestation. {H}owever, this relationship was not straightforward. {I}ndeed, the shape and intensity of the relationship depended on the timing of the onset of the pest infestation. {W}hen infestation occurred while plants were in a vegetative stage, a nonlinear relationship between development and pest incidence was observed with the least and most developed plants being the most infested. {W}hen infestation occurred when all plants were in the mature phase, the most developed plants were the least infested. {O}ur results highlight the effect of plant-pest phenological match/mismatch on pest infestation dynamics and underline the importance of taking plant-pest interactions into account to propose relevant control strategies.},
