Aging - feeding on the
ears with reduced
fertilization by eating on
the silks
Strategies for monoculture (continuous corn)
•Seed treatment or seedrillaplication, band, T-band, furrow application with granules or liquids
• treatment of young plants with granules or liquids into the root – zone (Talstar – active substance
Bifentrin)
Cornplanter with seedrill (furrow)
application granule drill for Bifenthrin Spraying the beetles

Conclusion
crop rotation
2 - 3 years corn – 1 year other plants
The insecticides against the adults are limited in their mode of action and to repeat
Under wet conditions good replacement of rootdamages by corn
