Control of Wireworms in Corn
Wireworms threaten corn, small grains, grasses, and potatoes. Seed treatment with lindane is inexpensive but risky long term. apply only in infested fields. Lindane 8 ounces of 25 percent powder per 100 pounds seed plus half pint water, plant soon after treatment. Other soil insecticides show promise. avoid benzene hexachloride. Aldrin trials at one pound per acre via band above planted corn yield solid control.
