Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1989 Abstract Three plots were established in fields that required replanting because of wireworm damage. The seedbed was prepared by field cultivating out the reduced stand in the severely damaged area of the fields. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 4 replicates.

Identification of Agriotes wireworms – Are they always what they appear to be?
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2015 Wireworms are internationally recognized as economically important pests with the most damaging wireworms in middle European arable land belonging to the genus Agriotes. From the five species of greater importance in Germany, three (A.

Wireworm Control using Fodder Rape and Mustard – evaluating the use of brassica green manures for the control of wireworm (Agriotes spp.) in organic crops [PDF]
, 2002 In a field experiment at ADAS Pwllpeiran in 2001, brassica green manures were grown for 6 weeks and dug in before planting King Edward potatoes, to see if they suppressed wireworm in the crop.

Olfactory preference in chemical host plant recognition by male and female click beetles and its implications for pest management. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciClick beetle (Elateridae) olfactory preferences for plant volatiles, including those released by damaged plants, remain poorly understood. Olfactometer and electroantennography experiments revealed sex‐ and plant species‐specific olfactory preferences of Agriotes sputator beetles, with maturity influencing female responses.

Characterisation of the bacteriomes harboured by major wireworm pest species in the Canadian Prairies. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolThe bacteriomes of five of the most important agricultural pests in the Canadian Prairies were characterised. Wireworms have diverse and taxon‐rich bacterial communities, with different species having a distinct composition and a small number of genera predominating.

Preventative insecticides reduce seedling injury, but do not increase yield in Bt and non-Bt corn grown in the mid-Atlantic. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) traits, neonicotinoid seed treatments (NSTs), and in‐furrow pyrethroids (IFPs) can control insect pests of corn, but their target spectrum may be redundant and/or mismatch Mid‐Atlantic pest pressure. Across 9 site‐years insecticide treatments reduced pest damage and sometimes increased plant stand, but never improved yield ...

Predicting crop damage caused by wireworms and the effect of tillage on trap efficiency
Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2023 A novel wireworm ‘probe’ trap is described, characterized, and used in field trials to (i) determine effects of different spring tillage treatments on its efficiency capturing Agriotes obscurus L.
