Abstract
Adult seedcorn maggot, Delia platura Meigen, populations were determined in 1980 and 1981 in relay intercropped soybeans, in soybeans for which a wheat cover crop had been disked into the soil, and in soybeans planted without wheat. Influence of planting date on seedcorn maggot populations also was evaluated for early-, mid-, and late-May plantings. Seedcorn maggot populations were not increased in relay intercropped soybeans in either year, but were 8.5 times greater in wheat disked areas compared with soybeans planted without wheat. Fewer seedcorn maggots were collected in late May compared with early and mid-May in both years. Reductions in soybean stands, caused by seedcorn maggot, occurred only in 1981.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
