Rootworm warnings prompt Iowa farmers to inspect corn fields
County Extension Director Maurice Eldridge notes rootworms are beginning to appear in northern Iowa. Harold Gunderson of Iowa State University urges farmers to inspect corn plants this week and soil for signs of rootworm feeding, especially where prior insecticides were used. If 10 roots per plant show damage or 50 percent show brown discoloration, a layby treatment with diazin, Thimet, parathion, or 4072 is recommended, applied in a narrow band at the base and covered with soil. If no initial signs are found, recheck in a few days before applying chemicals.
