Western Corn Rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) in Europe: Current Status and Sustainable Pest Management

Abstract: Western corn rootworm (WCR), or Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, became a very serious quarantine maize pest in Europe in the mid-1990s. Between 1995 and 2010, European countries were involved in international projects to share information and plan common research for integrated pest management (IPM) implementation. Since 2011, however, common efforts have declined, and an overview of WCR population spread, density, and research is in serious need of update. Therefore, we retained that it was necessary … Show more

“…In the 1990s, this species was accidentally brought to Serbia, in Eastern Europe, where it quickly spread over large parts of eastern and central Europe and became a threat to the corn-growing regions foremost in Hungary and Germany [12][13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, in those newly invaded regions, cultivating corn in a two-or three-year rotation with non-monocotyledon crops made it possible to maintain the populations of D. v. virgifera below economic threshold level [17,18]. D. v. virgifera is found in most European countries and was eradicated in Belgium, Netherlands, and United Kingdom [19], whereas in France and Germany, for example, populations are maintained below levels of economic damage due to intensive monitoring efforts and corn rotation strategies with particular regulations for each susceptible region and country [18].…”

“…On both continents, it is causing billions USD or EUR of annual pest management costs (Rice, 2004;Wesseler & Fall, 2010). However, due to those investments, the pest is relatively well managed and largescale crop losses are relatively rare (Ba zok et al, 2021).…”

“…In Europe, adult WCR feed on sunflower [35,93] and it has been suggested their host plant range is broader than in the U.S. [35]. Although WCR are considered a sunflower pest in some locations in Europe [94], severe widespread damage has not been reported, even in corn [95]. In the midwestern U.S., WCR appears to have a greater association with corn [32,49,96], although Campbell and Meinke [36] observed both NCR and WCR on Helianthus.…”
