“…Wireworms are early-season pests that can injure seeds and seedlings in spring, reducing the establishment and growth of young plants in the field [37,38]. Seedcorn maggots (Delia platura Meigen, D. florilega [Zetterstedt, 1845]) are pests of numerous vegetable and field crops and can cause serious economic losses when larvae penetrate the germinating seeds or seedlings and mine cotyledons, small shoots and/or young roots before sprouting occurs [39,40,41,42]. They are usually sporadic pests in field crops, mainly attracted by organic matter or cover crops incorporated into the soil before sowing [43,44,45].…”

Impacts of neonicotinoid seed treatments on soil-dwelling pest populations and agronomic parameters in corn and soybean in Quebec (Canada)

Agricultural soil pests, including wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae), are managed primarily with pesticides applied directly to seeds before sowing. Seeds coated with neonicotinoids have been used widely in Quebec (Canada) for several years. To assess the agronomic and economic value of neonicotinoid seed treatments in soybeans and corn in Quebec, trials were conducted from 2012 to 2016 in 84 fields across seven regions in Quebec. We evaluated the effect of neonicotinoid seed treatments on soil pest densities, crop damage and yield. The results showed that 92.6% of corn fields and 69.0% of soybean fields had less than 1 wireworm per bait trap. However, no significant differences in plant stand or yield were observed between treated and untreated corn or soybeans during the study. This study shows that neonicotinoid seed treatments in field crops in Quebec are useful in less than 5% of cases, given the very low level of pest-associated pressure and damage, and that they should not be used prophylactically. Integrated pest management (IPM) strategies need to be developed for soil insect pests to offer effective alternative solutions to producers.

“…Granular insecticide can also be used effectively for the control of these maggots (Kessing and Mau 1991). In beans plots, populations of seedcorn maggots can be managed best by choosing correct pesticide applications (can be applied either to seed or seedling line) and by following planting techniques mentioned in the cultural control section (Valenciano et al 2004).…”

“…The bean seed fly or seedcorn maggot, Delia platura (Meigen), is a small dipterous insect of the family Anthomyiidae (Valenciano et al 2004). It is a sporadic pest with cosmopolitan distribution, (Higley and Pedigo 1984) on germinating seeds of many agronomic plants (Funderburk et al 1984, Higley and.…”

The seedcorn maggot is a polyphagous pest, affecting more than 40 different host plants. It is an important pest of germinating soybeans and corn, and also attacks a wide range of horticultural crops including beans, peas, cucumber, melon, onion, pepper, potato, and other vegetables. Seedcorn maggots damage newly planted seeds by feeding on seed contents, often leaving empty seed shells and preventing germination. Although usually no more than 2% of the seedlings get infested by this insect, 30% to 60% plant loss may occur in the field. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Harsimran Kaur Gill, Gaurav Goyal, and Jennifer L. Gillett-Kaufman, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, July 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1002

“…The value of soybean is given by its high protein content (38-40%) and its outstanding oil production (18-22%) [9,23]. Although soybean is an extensively cultivated plant in the Carpathian Basin, it has a wide-range of pests [8,16,18,21]. The pests of soybean cultivated for the purpose of use as a forage, may cause a 10-15% crop failure, yet the effect deteriorating the seed quality may be even larger than this [1,4].…”

“…A number of results have proven that the damage caused by D. platura is assisted not just by mild meteorological conditions, but also by the loosening of discipline in the field of agricultural engineering [5,11,12,13,14,21]. In addition to the aforementioned facts, it is presumable that the damage induces some changes in the nutritional values of the affected plant [3].…”

Climate change has brought about an increasing level of seedcorn maggot (Delia platura Meigen, 1826) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) damage in Hungary. In order to have a more accurate understanding of the effects of these plant injuries induced by the larvae of D. platura, the nutrient content of soybean (Glycine max L. Merill.) was studied. Our results show that the moisture, raw fat, raw fibre, and raw ash content of the batches damaged by D. platura were significantly less in comparison with that of the control samples. In response to the deleterious effect of the insect, the infected soybean plants showed forced ripening (P = 0.004) (P > 0.05). The difference of moisture content between damaged and control samples was 2.30% on average. The fact of nutritional value loss was also reflected by the alteration of sugar mobilisation. As the result of this experiment the sucrose breakdown to glucose and fructose during the germination was significantly slower in the damaged seeds than that of the control ones. Overall, this late and surprising damage caused by D. platura led to the forced ripening of the affected soybean plants and a significant change in their nutritional values. Based on the herein reported results, it is presumable that in cases when the current climatic extremities, which are envisaged to occur more frequently in the future, and effects of agricultural practices will be coincided in the future a qualitative change of the produced soybean batches can be expected through the damage caused by this fly species.
