Description
- The western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica v. virgifera, is one of the most important insect pests of cultivated maize in North America with annual losses in yield and control expenditures exceeding U.S. $1 billion annually. A number of strategies, such as chemical insecticides, crop rotation, biological control and transgenic plants expressing toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), have been used to manage rootworm populations [1].
