Corn Rootworm Control Should Be Starting
Iowa State University entomologist Harold Gunderson warns corn rootworms are hatching across Iowa and could cost farmers thousands. Start field checks now through late June and early July, inspecting soil and roots for insects, then apply a layby Diazinon or other approved insecticide if rootworm presence is detected. Continuous vigilance is advised as rain may have washed away soil protection and resistant worm populations may exist in the east.
