As it turned out, these fuzzy wireworms were the first step on the path toward a new possibility for controlling wireworms. Tuber containing mature larvae of the Pacific Coast wireworm, Limonius canus.

Vernon says a top priority for his team is finding a replacement for Thimet. They are creating long-lasting, weatherproof granules that can be used with the Metarhizium granules. He and his research group are now in the process of testing LRC112’s effects on Canada’s many pest wireworm species.

Knowing this will help us plan its expansion for use with other crops, such as grain crops, also vulnerable to wireworms.”, Another area of investigation concerns how the exposure of click beetles to Metarhizium influences their ability to lay viable eggs.
They are estimated to cost Canada’s potato industry millions of dollars each year in crop damage and control measures.

This is not a location where ground beetles would come into contact with the product,” says Kabaluk. Chemical control of wireworms (Elateridae) in potatoes K. M. STEWART Invermay Agricultural Research Centre, Mosgiel, Otago, New Zealand Abstract In field trials in which insecticide granules were applied in the furrow at 3 and 6 kg a.i.lha, aldrin, phorate, diazinon, parathion, fonofos, chlorpyrifos, phoxim, ethoprophos, chlor- Doing so will expose them on the surface. But Capture certainly provides a protective zone like Thimet to help protect the tubers against wireworm attack.”. Kabaluk then infected some wireworms with the isolate and confirmed it was the cause of the same disease exhibited by the fuzzy wireworms.

This move is part of the National Pesticide Risk Reduction Strategy for Wireworm, devised by Agriculture  and Agri-Food Canada along with Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency.

Tracy Shinners-Carnelley, research and quality enhancement director for Manitoba’s Peak of the Market, says with the clock is ticking down on Thimet, growers are eager for any good news related to alternative wireworm treatments. That might not sound like an auspicious gift, but Kabaluk is a research biologist in integrated pest management with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC).

“When the pheromone granules were applied with Metarhizium granules, click beetles literally ran toward their fatal Metarhizium infection. Wireworms are the tough-to-control, soil-dwelling larvae of click beetles. But perhaps Metarhizium affects this ability in some way. <>stream

Metarhizium LRC112 is also virulent toward other indigenous pest wireworm species.”, Kabaluk’s group produces its own LRC112. Wireworms cause the damage not the adult click beetles.
