Beetles Cut Illinois Corn Crop By 61 Million Dollars
Illinois farmers face estimated losses of 11 million bushels and 61 million dollars from corn rootworm beetles. Dr. Steve Moore of the University of Illinois notes high infestation since the 1960s, with costs rising due to soil treatment and control measures across five million northern acres and 1.5 million southern acres. He cites two beetle varieties, Northern and Western, and suggests crop rotation or postharvest tillage to curb damage while warning of potential soil erosion from full tillage.
