Description

Resistant strains of the western corn rootworm are causing a serious insect problem in South Dakota. The western, northern, and southern species have been present for a number of years. However, the first evidence of resistant strains of western corn rootworm in South Dakota was observed in 1962. Treatment failures using aldrin and heptachlor, later checked by laboratory tests on adult beetles, indicated that the western corn rootworm population in Lincoln County in southeastern South Dakota was becoming resistant.
