Be prepared for rootworm season
LANCASTER -
Fanners planning to
plant second or third
year corn should
definitely consider
using a soil insecticide,
recommends Gary
Beland, research en
tomologist for Funk
Seeds International.
Rootworm-a problem
xor com farmers across
the country-will cause
trouble again this
season, possibly m even
greater force than last
year, Beland says.
“Based on adult
rootworm beetle counts
in the central Corn Belt
last season, we’re ex
pecting an increase in
larvae populations for
1981,” he adds.
For individual far
mers, predictive
scouting of beetle
populations in late
summer could have
indicated the need for
soil insecticides.
Beland advises far
mers who counted an
average of at least one
beetle per plant between
July and September, or
those who don’t know
what tneir count was
and plan to plant second
or third year corn, to
use a soil insecticide
Also, he says, if there
were more than 4000
volunteer corn plants in
a soybean field last
year, and a farmer
plans to plant com in the
field this year, in
secticide application
should be considered.
That number of
volunteer com plants
was sufficient to attract
egg-laying beetles in in
August and result in
enough larvae this year
to damage corn
“Organophosphates
such as Amaze,
Counter, Dyfonate,
Lorsban, Mocap, and
Thiraet offer a measure
of control m continuous
com,” Beland says.
Farmers having less
than satisfactory
control with the car
bamate insecticide,
Furadan, should con
sider switching to an
organophosphate in
secticide
Beland says control of
rootworm in the larval
state is easiest,
although adult beetle
control can be achieved
with a number of in
secticides
Crop rotations, which
kill rootworm larvae by
starvation, are still the
best defense against
rootworm
