Corn Rootworm is the most important insect pest facing corn growers in the United States.  Each year, around $2 billion is spent to manage this problem.  In this episode Preston and I discuss the latest development in the battle against the pest.

To learn more about corn rootworm, you can listen to an earlier episode in which we learned about its biology: https://anchor.fm/focusonagriculture/episodes/Episode-6-Joe-Spencer---Rootworm--the-Billion-Dollar-Bug-e4tgpk.  If you are wondering about the 2022 outlook for the insect, watch this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/-NHRqqogFNs.  You can learn more about SmartStax Pro® on the Bayer website.
