| Popis: | In 2 field trials in the Manawatu, maize was direct-drilled into pasture not treated with insecticide. When wet weather followed sowing, up to 44% of the seedlings were lost before emergence because of slug damage, and when there was dry weather after sowing, up to 57% were lost because of Argentine stem weevil larvae attack. Damage by slugs and stem weevil was reduced when a winter oat forage crop was grown before the summer maize crop, despite oats being a host of both slugs and stem weevil. |
