Seed Treatments Not
Holding Up to Corn
Rootworm
Seed treatments have been touted as an east effective was
to control corn rootworm and othei sield-damaginii pests
in field corn The premise for their use is that dies
eliminate die time and effort ot using a soil inset ncidc at
planting tunc
However, Universits ofllhnois entomologists and
researchers at other Midwest land-grant universities ret ends
conducted trials tor two recent additions to the seed
treatment lineup - ProSlueld technologs with Force ST
insecticide and Prescribe insecticide seed treatment
Neither provided consistent,acceptable control ot torn
rootworm larsae
In fact. University of Illinois mot racings trials conduct
ed at three sites in 2000 placed die average root rating tor
Pro Shield at 9md Prescribe at 3 6 In the same trials i
T-band application of Lorsban* 15G insecticide provided an
average root rating of 2 4 A rating of 3 0 or higher is
considered unacceptable and leads to economic losses
A summary of the 2000 lowa State University rootworm
control study showed Pro Shield and Prescribe .flowed
rootworms to consume six to seven times as mans roots
compared to T-bandeci I oi sban ISG
Lorsban ISC? is the time-proven mdustrv standard toi
control of corn rootworm ciitwoims giubs seed torn
maggots, vvireworms and more It outperforms seed
treatments bcc mse it pumdes
residual contiol and lasts longci
throughout the giowmg season
which is vital in protecting corn
from the intense corn rootworm
feeding tvpically experienced
throughout parts of the Midwest
And Purdue University trials'
conducted since 1991 show that
Lorsban 15G provides the greatest
return on investment of all leading
corn insecticides

benefits of Lorsban 15G, contact
