Scouting for wireworms starts with looking for bare or thinned patches, after the crop has emerged — areas where maybe the seedling didn't come up at all, or if they did, they've yellowed at the centre of the plant. • If you see that, there could be a couple different reasons, why your crop has thinned in that area, like for example a frost patch, says Dr. Haley Catton, research scientist in field crop entomology at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge in this Wheat School episode. So, if you want to know if it's wireworms, you have to go to that patch, go to those sick looking plants, and dig them up and see if you find the wireworms in the act of eating your plant's roots. • #WheatSchool #Wireworms #Farming #Agronomy #Pests #Agriculture • Website: https://www.realagriculture.com/wheat... • Find us on our other social media platforms: • Twitter: / realagriculture • Instagram: / realagriculture • Facebook: / realagmedia
