DOI: 10.1093/jee/toy130

Abstract: Abstract Radiographic imaging was used to study corn wireworm, Melanotus communis (Gyllenhal) (Coleoptera: Elateridae), behavior in the soil relative to Irish potato, Solanum tuberosum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae), placed above a barrier of insecticide-treated soil. Behavioral… read more here.
