“…In the following years, D. v. virgifera rapidly spread to neighboring countries and then throughout the region (Kiss et al, 2005) (Figure 1). Csalomon type pheromon traps were an important tool in detection of the new pest (Toth et al, 1996(Toth et al, , 2003.…”

Western corn rootworm (WCR) was registered for the first time in Europe near the Surcin international airport in Serbia in 1992. The spread of WCR on the territory of Serbia and its population density increased fast. The Serbian territory was entirely populated in the following few years, while major damages occurred on corn grown for two or more years in the same field. Data on damages caused to over 140,000 ha under corn until 1999 were collected by organized monitoring. After 2000 and 2003, population abundance of D.v. virgifera, as well as the number of damaged corn fields, significantly decreased due to drought and application of crop rotation. Corn rootworm has one generation per year. It overwinters in the egg stage. Under the climatic conditions of Serbia larvae hatching starts around May 15th. The highest number of larvae on root is observed around June 20th when feeding is most intensive and plants become lodged as they lose roots. First adults emerge by the end of June. Their abundance increases during July and reaches maximum by the end of the month. From the second decade of August the abundance decreases. Adults are present in the field until the first frosts. Larvae are much more harmful and significant than adults. Larvae feed on roots or into roots by boring. Roots can be entirely destroyed under heavy attack and the host plants lodged already at the end of June. Under our climatic and agrotechnical conditions, adults are sporadic pests. Adults are a threat only when sowing is done after the optimal sowing date or in case of stubble corn sowing. Crop rotation is an efficient and most widespread means of WCR control. No damage on corn grown in crop rotation has been registered in Serbia for now. In the first year of production corn does not require protection from Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte larvae. Several insecticides have performed high efficacy by application at sowing and have been registered for commercial use. On the other hand, soil insecticides have never been applied on a significant area in Serbia. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.

“…In Southeast Europe, WCR also lays eggs in winter wheat and alfalfa crops, but the number of surviving adults is low and is not a threat to corn roots (Kiss et al, 2001(Kiss et al, , 2002(Kiss et al, , 2005.…”

“…Because the western corn rootworm now causes yield losses in rotated and nonrotated maize in the central Corn Belt of the United States, this estimate for North America is now considered low (75). Economic losses on a global scale far exceed the $1 billion estimate since the western corn rootworm has continued to spread across Europe (40,44). Larvae of this univoltine chrysomelid feed on roots of maize and some other grass species (8, 9, 15, 91), and adults consume primarily leaf tissue, silks, tender kernels, and pollen (79).…”

“…WCR has been introduced to the EU from North America (Miller et al, 2005), where it is native and widespread. It was first detected near Belgrade (Serbia) in 1992, but has since spread across the continent (Hummel, 2003;Kiss et al, 2005a;Boriani et al, 2006;Ciosi et al, 2008;Gray et al, 2009;Meinke et al, 2009), resulting in well-established populations in approximately 19 European countries (EC, 2012). 5 It is expected that this invasive pest species will expand further in the EU (Hemerik et al, 2004;Moeser and Vidal, 2005;Ciosi et al, 2011;Aragón and Lobo, 2012).…”

Scientific Opinion on an application from Pioneer Hi‐Bred International and Dow AgroSciences LLC (EFSA‐GMO‐NL‐2005‐23) for placing on the market of genetically modified maize 59122 for food and feed uses, import, processing and cultivation under Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003

This Scientific Opinion reports on a risk assessment on an application for placing on the market of genetically modified maize 59122 for import and processing for food and feed uses and cultivation. The EFSA GMO Panel considers that maize 59122 is unlikely to have any adverse effect on the environment, except for the possible evolution of resistance to the Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 proteins in coleopteran target pests. The Panel recommends the implementation of appropriate and diversified insect resistance management strategies and case-specific monitoring to delay and monitor the possible evolution of resistance to Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 in coleopteran target pests, respectively. In addition, the Panel recommends revision of the applicants' insect resistance management plan and the proposed post-market environmental monitoring plan. Although maize 59122 is tolerant to glufosinate-ammonium-based herbicides, the Panel did not assess the potential adverse effects associated with the use of such herbicides on maize 59122, as maize 59122 will not be marketed in the European Union as a herbicide-tolerant crop. This Scientific Opinion updates the previous Panel safety evaluation of the food and feed uses, and import and processing of maize 59122 and derived products. The Panel concludes that the information available for maize 59122 addresses the scientific comments raised by Member States and that maize 59122, as described in this application, is as safe as its conventional counterpart and commercial maize varieties with respect to potential adverse effects on human and animal health. If subjected to appropriate management measures, the cultivation of maize 59122 is unlikely to raise safety concerns for the environment.
