- Intervention effect Granular or soil drench fungal applications and imidacloprid seed treatment gave higher plant stands than fungus-coated seed or untreated controls at both sites.
- Intervention effect Granular or soil drench fungal applications and imidacloprid seed treatment gave higher yields than fungus-coated seed or untreated controls at both sites.
- Observation Application methods differed significantly in wireworm control.
- Observation Fungal species did not differ significantly within application methods.
- Intervention effect Soil drenches of all three fungi were more effective for wireworm control than seed coating.
- Observation The fungal treatments provided significant plant and yield protection under moderate wireworm pressure.
