Keep your. attack on corn rootworm going strong. Just as in hockey, it takes two good lines to win. One on the ice, keeping pressure on the opponent, while the other gets a breather. The same applies to corn rootworm insecticides. University researchers say the best way to keep rootworms from building up resistance to insecticides is to alternate organophosphate and carbamate insecticides each year. To keep your rootworm attack going strong, every year, alternate these two good lines: Carbamate Line: • FURADAN® insecticide. r, This hard-hitting carbamate insecticide controls corn rootworms on contact. Then it is absorbed by roots to provide long-Ia§ting residual control of rootworms which hatch later in the season. This protects feeder roots needed for fast, vigorous growth. And it protects brace roots needed to prevent lodging and harvest losses. The net result: more corn.
