Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Over five years, traps captured 12,378 male adults of three Agriotes species.
- Observation Male swarming lasted from late April to late August with a major and minor peak.
- Observation A. lineatus was dominant in traps during 2006 and 2008, with 4,005 male adults.
- Observation A. obscurus accounted for 3,045 trapped male adults.
- Observation A. sputator accounted for 1,213 trapped male adults.
- Observation A. lineatus oviposition peaked from May to early June.
- Observation A. lineatus larvae passed through eight instars over 30 months without completing the life cycle.
- Recommendation The authors recommend cultural approaches, including tillage and rotation, for nonchemical wireworm control.
