It is a billion-dollar pest. Corn rootworms have been robbing yields across the country for years, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The pest has been controlled by seed traits and certain crop protection products, but the fact is that nature will always find a way to adapt and survive. No matter how often we get the upper hand, nature finds a way.
Corn rootworms do not care which hybrid you plant, they will attack it all. However, Wyffels is one company that is looking to bring growers together, whether or not you grow their hybrids. They have had a strong rootworm monitoring program, and they?re encouraging all producers to get involved. The more data we can grab, the better we can monitor the situation.
Jared Goplen of Wyffels talks about the program and why they want to involve as many farmers as possible, regardless of what hybrid you plant.
Wyffels shares the data with farmers, so they can let them know where we are seeing the pressure levels in your area. He shares how you can get traps from Wyffels to help track the movement of the billion-dollar pest.
You can learn more about the program at Wyffels.com.
