Abstract
Few control options
- Registration of broad-spectrum soil fumigant insecticides discontinued
- Effective monitoring is time- and resource-intensive
Crop damage from feeding on root nodules by soil-dwelling CRC larvae
- Nodules are a symbiotic relationship between the plant and rhizobia, which provide nitrogen to the plant host
- Curculionid beetles can sense the nodules
Mating by pheromones. CRC produces contact and volatile chemicals for mating and egg laying (oviposition).
- Utilize pheromone during active mating above ground
