Development of a nondiapausing strain of northern corn rootworm with rearing techniques for both diapausing and nondiapausing strains
Abstract The northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica barberi Smith & Lawrence, has a univoltine life cycle that typically produces one generation a year. When rearing the northern corn rootworm in the laboratory, in order to break diapause, it is necessary to expose eggs to a five month cold period b...
