Details of Trapping
• 12 traps per field
• Traps monitored weekly
• Traps in field last two weeks of July and first
two weeks of August
• Thanks to Pioneer HiBred for support
Thresholds
• U of I research found that beetle counts of 5
or more per trap per day can lead to yield loss
in next years’ corn crop
• Of the 13 cooperators in the project, only one
found any rootworm adults during the 4 week
interval
