“…* only single specimens found ** no lineatus was caught, but proximus was detected *** distribution of larvae, not click beetles X dominant or all trapped species (X) minor species (if classified) -species not detected in traps n.d. no data available However, in some cases the occurrence of damage is also increasing in fields with all-arable rotations even without long-term grassland history (Parker & Howard 2001, Keiser et al 2012. Additionally, Keiser et al (2012) stated that crop rotation was the only factor associated with wireworm damage while soil characteristics and crop management did not sufficiently explain the damage caused by wireworms based on a large-scale field experiment with potatoes. Furlan (2007) advance the view that in order to negatively influence a wireworm population, temporary interruptions of crop rotations, and changing tillage, irrigation or planting times according to the species life cycle can be helpful strategies.…”

The aim of this paper is to review and interpret relevant work on population monitoring, damage prediction, agronomic strategies, and chemical as well as biological control of Agriotes wireworms in Europe.Wireworm populations and damages are on the rise globally. During the past decade, particularly research on the determination and distribution of Agriotes species has been brought forward. Summarising the recent click beetle surveys throughout Europe, the most widespread destructive species is A. lineatus, followed by A. obscurus and A. sputator. Developing species specific control methods seems to be advisable as Agriotes species differ greatly from one another concerning biology, ecology and crop preferences. Additionally, there are great regional differences in the distribution of species depending on factors such as climate and landscape parameters. Therefore, it is important to reliably determine the wireworm species as well as mapping their regional distribution.When selecting an insecticide, it is crucial to consider the need to provide both stand protection and wireworm reduction as certain insecticides act either as repellents or allow an extensive recovery of wireworms. However, the lack of efficacious insecticides and increasing wireworm pressure has intensified the need to evaluate alternative management strategies. Concerning wireworm control by agricultural methods, first encouraging data have been obtained in the fields of trap crops and crop rotation. However, their implementation in IPM strategies is still limited. Most promising seems the use of entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, and their combination with either nematodes or insecticides. However, products for their commercial use still have to be developed.Currently, damage prediction and reliable control strategies are still challenging and need further investigation. Economic thresholds in susceptible crops need to be established particularly for the most destructive Agriotes species. Finally, the knowledge about the species specific biology and ecology still needs to be completed.

“…Crop rotation is paramount for achieving the largest production and best quality of the potato (Campiglia, Paolini, Colla, & Mancinelli, 2009), mainly for interrupting life cycles of pests and diseases (Keiser Häberli & Stamp, 2012) and improving soil quality (Askari & Holden, 2015). However, the herbicides used in rotation crops such as corn and wheat can persist in the soil and impair growth and development of the potato plant.…”

<b>Carryover of tembotrione and atrazine affects yield and quality of potato tubers

et al. 2018

ABSTRACT. Crop rotation improves potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops; however, in some cases, it can have some negative effects due to the herbicides previously used in crops under rotation. These effects are the decline in the yield and the appearance of physiological disorders, including cracked tubers, which impair the quality and economic value of the potato. Two field experiments were performed with applications of tembotrione and atrazine, alone or in combination. In the Rio Paranaiba (Minas Gerais State) area, in clay soil, the herbicides were applied at post-emergence in corn (Zea mays L.). After corn harvest and soil preparation, the potatoes were planted. In the Serra do Salitre (Minas Gerais State) area, in the medium texture soil, the herbicides were applied and incorporated into the soil, and the potatoes were planted the day after. No injuries were found in the shoots. Decline in the potato yield was found only in the medium texture soil (Serra do Salitre). Atrazine did not affect the quality of potato tubers. In the two areas, tembotrione promoted cracks in "Atlantic" potato tubers.Keywords: Atlantic; herbicide; physiological disorder; Solanum tuberosum.Carryover de tembotrione e atrazine afeta a produtividade e a qualidade de tubérculos de batata RESUMO. A cultura da batata (Solanum tuberosum L.) é favorecida pela rotação de culturas e, em alguns casos, desfavorecida pelos efeitos adversos dos herbicidas utilizados anteriormente nas culturas em rotação. Esses efeitos são redução de produtividade e desordens fisiológicas como, por exemplo, rachaduras de tubérculos, que reduzem a qualidade e valor comercial da batata para consumo in natura ou processamento industrial. Em dois experimentos de campo foram realizadas aplicações de tembotrione e atrazine, isolados ou em mistura. Na área de Rio Paranaíba (Estado de Minas Gerais) em solo de textura argilosa, os herbicidas foram aplicados na cultura do milho (Zea mays L.) em pós-emergência e na área de Serra do Salitre (Estado de Minas Gerais) em solo de textura média, foram aplicados e incorporados um dia antes do plantio da batata. Não foram observadas injúrias na parte aérea das plantas. A produtividade de batata foi reduzida somente no solo de textura média (Serra do Salitre). O atrazine não influenciou a qualidade dos tubérculos de batata. Nas duas áreas o tembotrione causou rachaduras em tubérculos de batata "Atlantic".

“…Aside from directly damaging or killing the crop plants, wireworm damage also often paves the way for other plant pathogens such as fungi which indirectly harm the crop. Both direct and indirect damage can inflict considerable price reductions for crops such as potatoes (Keiser et al 2012). Currently, there are thousands of hectares of cropland which are threatened by these pests, hence effective control measures need to be brought in place.…”
