Influence of Preceding Crop on Wireworm (Coleoptera: Elateridae) Abundance in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina
JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 103(6), 2087–2093.
author keywords: wireworm; crop rotation; Conoderus spp.; Melanotus communis
MeSH headings : Animals; Coleoptera / physiology; Crops, Agricultural / parasitology; Host Specificity; Ipomoea batatas / parasitology; Larva / physiology; North Carolina; Population Density; Soil / parasitology
TL;DR:
Three studies were conducted to determine the effect of preceding crop on wireworm abundance in the coastal plain of North Carolina, and C. vespertinus was the most abundant species, and the mean total number of wireworms per bait was highest following corn.

Survey of Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in North Carolina Sweetpotato Fields and Seasonal Abundance of Conoderus vespertinus
JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 103(4), 1268–1276.
author keywords: wireworm; tobacco wireworm; Conoderus vespertinus; sweetpotato
MeSH headings : Animals; Coleoptera / classification; Coleoptera / physiology; Ipomoea batatas; Larva / classification; Larva / physiology; North Carolina; Seasons; Time Factors
TL;DR:
Adult C. vespertinus were most abundant in July, and larvae were smaller and more abundant after 15 July than earlier in the season, indicating an early summer generation turnover and oviposition in fields planted to sweetpotato.
