| influence of preceding crop on wireworm (coleoptera: elateridae) abundance in the coastal plain of north carolina. | three studies were conducted to determine the effect of preceding crop on wireworm (coleoptera: elateridae) abundance in the coastal plain of north carolina. in all three studies, samples of wireworm populations were taken from the soil by using oat, avena sativa l., baits. treatments were defined by the previous year's crop and were chosen to reflect common crop rotations in the region. across all three studies, eight wireworm species were recovered from the baits: conoderus amplicollis (gyllen ... | 2010 | 21309229 |
| survey of wireworms (coleoptera: elateridae) in north carolina sweetpotato fields and seasonal abundance of conoderus vespertinus. | adult and larval wireworm (coleoptera: elateridae) populations were surveyed in north carolina sweetpotato, ipomoea batatas (l.) lam., fields during 2005 and 2006 by using yellow sticky traps and larvalbaits. eight species of larvae and nine species of adult wireworms were identified. conoderus vespertinus (f.) was the most prevalent wireworm species, making up 65.9% of the larvae and 62.9% of the adults captured. adult c. vespertinus were most abundant in july, and larvae were smaller and more ... | 2010 | 20857736 |
