Rural Roots

3/16/21- Wireworm Online Field Day

11 am PST / 12 pm MST

Presenter: Diane Green, Greentree Naturals – Sandpoint, ID

Description: Ever dig up potatoes or carrots with wriggly holes inside? This is probably wireworm damage.  Wireworms feed entirely underground, attacking germinating seeds, roots, bulbs, and tubers.  Damaged plants soon wilt and die. Managing wireworms organically can be challenging. Greentree Naturals  hosted an on-farm research project with the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Nematology  at University of Idaho to evaluate Biological Control against wireworms in 2020. This on-line Field Day will share both field tested and educational aspects of wireworm management.
