Wireworms in Florida Sugarcane
EDIS, 2021 Wireworms, the larval stage of a click beetle, often cause severe damage to numerous crops in Florida. At least twelve species of wireworms have been found in southern Florida, but only the corn wireworm, Melanotus communis, is considered to cause ...

FIELD EXPERIMENTS ON THE CONTROL OF WIREWORMS
Annals of Applied Biology, 1938 SUMMARY1. This paper describes an attempt to find out whether it is possible to test chemical control measures against wireworms by a field techniqpe similar to that used in fertilizer and varietal experimentation. A full account is given of three field experiments using old grassland on a heavy “clay‐with‐flints” soil.The arrangements and sizes of the

Species Identification of Wireworms (Agriotes spp.; Coleoptera: Elateridae) of Agricultural Importance in Europe: A New “Horizontal Identification Table” [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Wireworms are yellowish soil-dwelling larvae that damage a wide range of arable crops. The most common wireworms found in European cultivated fields (except for the Caucasus) belong to the genus Agriotes (Coleoptera: Elateridae).

Effectiveness of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) in Reducing Wireworm Damage in Potatoes [PDF]
InsectsWireworms are a major threat to potatoes. Agronomic prevention is always the first IPM strategy to be implemented. This work assesses whether a bioactive cover crop, sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), a tropical leguminous plant, reduces wireworm damage ...

Seed Treatment Alternatives with Improved Ecological Profiles for Controlling Wireworms in Maize and Early-Season Sugar Beet Pests [PDF]
PlantsThe ban on neonicotinoid seed treatments in the EU has created major challenges for maize and sugar beet production, as these chemicals have been highly effective in controlling early-season pests, including wireworms (Agriotes spp.), sugar beet weevil ...

Aboveground and Belowground Insect Herbivory Changes Maize-Wireworm Interactions via Root Volatile Cues. [PDF]
Plant Cell EnvironABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying

PCR-based species identification tools for wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) of economic importance in Canada. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciSpecies‐specific PCR primers and PCR‐based assays were designed for the identification of 15 economically important and difficult to distinguish wireworm pests in Canada. PCR specificity testing and performance assessments confirm the accuracy of the assays.
