Research Project: Corn Rootworm Basic Biology Toward Optimizing Resistance Management Strategies

Location: Plant Genetics Research

Project Number: 3622-21220-004-04
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Mar 17, 2003
End Date: Aug 31, 2005

Objective:
The objective of this cooperative research project is to develop a thorough understanding of corn rootworm larval movement patterns in susceptible corn with varying levels of background infestations and with varying timing of point source infestations. Knowledge of these areas is crucial in deploying effective resistance management strategies.

Approach:
Evaluate larval movement with varying background infestations.
