Description
Translation by the authors. Wireworms (Melanotus communis (Gyllenhall), Coleoptera: Elateridae) have been a constant threat to sugarcane since the beginning of its production in the 1920s and 1930s in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) (Gifford 1964). Prior to the advent of chemical insecticides some growers had to replant several times to get acceptable stands (Wilson 1940). Prior to the 1960s, most of the EAA was devoted to cattle production and a large percentage of the land that gradually would go into sugarcane production was devoted to pasture (Kidder 1979). Elevated populations of wireworms often are found in pasture or otherwise grassy fields (Fox 1961; Parker & Seeney 1997).
