Western Corn Rootworm, "Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte," has been a
major economic pest of maize in the Americas for many years. However, since the
early 1990s, it has become an increasing threat to crops in Europe and is
expected to spread to all maize growing areas of the continent. This book
provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge of the biology and ecology
of this insect pest and how it might be managed in order to limit its damage as
it spreads into new agroecological areas. Cultural, biotechnical and biological
control measures are addressed, as are ecological baseline data such as
population dynamics, economic thresholds and aspects
