Corn rootworm has the attention of many farmers planning for the upcoming growing season.
Jim Lappin with crop protection manufacturer AMVAC says the insect continues to be a problem.
“In the Upper Midwest, Midwest, corn rootworm is probably one of the biggest topics from ’23 and ’22 in that we’ve seen elevated pressures from corn rootworm.”
He tells Brownfield the pest can be difficult to manage because it typically doesn’t infest a field equally.
