Corn Beetles Threaten Seedlings in Early Growth
Entomologist Harold Gunderson of Iowa University notes corn beetles may attack seedlings just after emergence. They feed on leaves and near surface roots, potentially killing plants if nutrient uptake is blocked. Early inspection is advised and growers may apply diazinon spray per acre over rows to protect stands.
