Wisconsin fights oats pest with natural predators
Entomologists in Wisconsin release stingless wasps in six southeastern counties to curb cereal leaf beetle in oats fields. Officials say predators may reduce need for pesticides if they establish over winter and feed on beetle larvae. The program uses USDA-supported parasites from Michigan and aims to protect a $60 to $100 million Wisconsin oat crop.
