Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
The northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis (Say), was first reported by Guibord (1976) in QuCbec corn fields, and has since been studied intensively as a potential pest of corn. Detailed field investigations of the bionomics were initiated at h4acdonald Campus in 1979, and laboratory research such as physiology and toxicology required the development of techniques for mass rearing of the insects.
