Spanish term or phrase: en el pico de emergencia de vuelo
Evaluaciones realizadas por Dornan y Stewart (1995), documentan que Ostrinia nubilalis, oviposita sus masas de huevos en el suelo en la base del tallo de la planta, aledaño al tubérculo de papa. En Carolina del Norte, EUA, la papa es más atractiva que el maíz para la oviposición de las hembras, en el pico de emergencia de vuelo, y dañó es mayor medida que emergen más hembras

Reference information:
****In North Carolina, for example, potato is more attractive than corn at peak emergence of the first moth flight, and more heavily damaged. *** Other crops sometimes attacked include buckwheat, grain corn, hop, oat, millet, and soybean, and such flowers as aster, cosmos, dahlia, gladiolus, hollyhock, and zinnia. Some of the common weeds infested include barnyardgrass, Echinochoa crus-galli; beggarticks, Bidens spp.; cocklebur, Xanthium spp.; dock, Rumex spp.; jimsonweed, Datura spp.; panic grass, Panicum spp.; pigweed, Amaranthus spp.; smartweed, Polygonum spp.; and others. A good list of host plants is given by Caffrey and Worthley (1927).

Adult female European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner).
European corn borer has a very wide host range, attacking practically all robust herbaceous plants with a stem large enough for the larvae to enter. However, the eastern strain accounts for most of the wide host range, the western strain feeding primarily on corn. Vegetables other than corn tend to be infested if they are abundant before corn is available, or late in the season when senescent corn becomes unattractive for oviposition; snap and lima beans, pepper, and potato are especially damaged.

Reference: peak flight emergence

Reference information:
I got to this based on Taña's reference above. See the following examples for the seedcorn maggot.

https://www.canr.msu.edu › news › southeast_michigan_vegetable_regiona...
May 2, 2018 - Note that the Deerfield Enviroweather station model for seedcorn maggot is predicting **peak flight emergence** and egg laying for May 4.

https://ipcm.wisc.edu › blog › 2011/05 › early-season-insect-calendar-seed...
May 12, 2011 - ... and degree-days can help minimize damage by planting as close to possible during “fly free” periods **outside of the peak flight emergence**.

agree  Erin Riddle: "Peak flight emergence" is more efficient and reflective of the source text, though Taña's is also good (and provides some clarity with additional phrasing.) Both are consistent with industry conventions for phrasing.
