Integrated Pest Management In Corn Rootworm Control: A Preliminary Economic Assessment

Author

  • Miranowski, John A.

Abstract

Integrated pest management in corn production provides cultural and chemical strategies for corn rootworm control. An optimal management strategy is suggested that considers both expected net returns and risk. Under current price and cost conditions, cultural control strategies dominate.
