Companion or second crop planting can dramatically increase rootworm populations. Corn with pumpkins or corn following pumpkins are examples of planting patterns that exacerbate rootworm feeding pressure. [14] Shrestha, Dunbar, French and Gassmann have reported that field history causes variation in the degree of corn rootworm resistance.

[3] [4] The scouting report includes the following: field description, pest observations ...
Members of this genus include several destructive agricultural pest species, sometimes referred to as cucumber beetles or corn rootworms. Species
Diabrotica barberi, the northern corn rootworm, is a species of skeletonizing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Adults feed on corn, and, when corn is unavailable, goldenrod pollen.
For example, the northern corn rootworm (Diabrotica barberi) became adapted to a corn-soybean crop rotation by spending the year when the field is planted with soybeans in a diapause. [ 107 ] As of 2014 [update] , few new weed killers are near commercialization, and none with a novel, resistance-free mode of action. [ 108 ]
