Youth Project - Testing Metarhizium micro-granules in managing wireworm infestations in potatoes
FY 2019-20 · 2019-04-24
Summary
Potato is the largest vegetable crop produced in Canada, with almost 5 million tonnes every year. Wireworms, the larva of the click beetles [Elatiridae] cost farmers an estimated 6 million dollars annually in pest management measures and crop losses. Many insecticides are ineffective and do not have long enough residuals to protect harvestable tubers. Thus, new control measures are being saught. An environmentally-friendly pest control product based on Metarhizium fungus is in development and will be applied either as in-furrow band or spot applications during potato planting to protect harvested tubers from wireworm feeding damage. The efficacy of the Metarhizium will be compared to other pest control products in the laboratoy and field.

Description (French)
La pomme de terre est la plus importante culture légumière produite au Canada, avec près de 5 millions de tonnes par année. Les larves de vers fil de fer, les larves des scarabées cliqueurs [Elatiridae] coûtent aux agriculteurs environ 6 millions de dollars par année en mesures de lutte antiparasitaire et en pertes de récolte. De nombreux insecticides sont inefficaces et n'ont pas de résidus suffisamment longs pour protéger les tubercules récoltables. De nouvelles mesures de lutte sont donc en train d'être mises en place. Un produit antiparasitaire écologique à base de champignons Metarhizium est en cours de développement et sera appliqué soit en bande dans le sillon, soit de façon localisée pendant la plantation de pommes de terre pour protéger les tubercules récoltés des dommages causés par le ver fil de fer. L'efficacité du Metarhizium sera comparée à celle d'autres produits antiparasitaires en laboratoire et sur le terrain.
