StarStarStarStar

Flea Beetles

StarStarStarStar

Creates shot-hole damage in foliage, impairs photosynthesis, and transmits diseases such as Stewart's wilt in corn, leading to yield loss.

StarStarStarStar

Cutworms

StarStarStarStar

Cutworms sever young plants at the stem base, damaging or destroying young seedlings, which results in reduced stand density and yield.

StarStarStarStar

Root Maggots

StarStarStarStar

They consume root tissues, reducing plant vigor and yield, and can transmit plant diseases, leading to further crop loss.

StarStarStarStar

Mole Crickets

StarStarStarStar

Their tunneling damages roots and can displace small plants, affecting turf health and crop seedling establishment.

StarStarStarStar

Wireworms

StarStarStarStar

Reduces seed germination rates, creates feeding tunnels in roots and underground stems, thus stunting plant growth and reducing yields.

StarStarStarStar

Termites

StarStarStarStar

Primarily wood-eaters, but can damage live roots and organic matter, leading to structural damage in plants and reduced crop yields.

StarStarStarStar

Soil Weevils

StarStarStarStar

Larval feeding on roots can stunt plant growth and kill seedlings, resulting in patchy stands and reduced yield.

StarStarStarStar

Grain Aphids

StarStarStarStar

Feed on plant sap, weakening plants, and potentially causing grain shrivel and lower yield; also vector plant viruses.

StarStarStarStar

Corn Rootworm

StarStarStarStar

Feeds on corn roots, reducing water and nutrient uptake, leading to lodging and reduced corn yield; also builds resistance to control measures.

StarStarStarStar

Cabbage Maggots

StarStarStarStar

Feed on roots of brassicas, causing wilting and death, reducing the quantity and quality of the crop yield.

StarStarStarStar

Nematodes

StarStarStarStar

Can cause root galls or lesions, leading to stunted growth, wilting, and lower crop yields; some species also vector viruses.

StarStarStarStar

Symphylans

StarStarStarStar

Feed on roots and root hairs, affecting nutrient and water uptake, slowing plant growth and causing yield reductions.

StarStarStarStar

Armyworms

StarStarStarStar

Consumes large amounts of leaf tissue, can devastate crops leading to significant yield loss if not controlled effectively.

StarStarStarStar

White Grubs

StarStarStarStar

Feeding on roots and organic matter lowers nutrient availability, causes wilting and plant death, leading to bare patches in lawns and fields.

StarStarStarStar

Rootworms

StarStarStarStar

Feeds on roots which limits plant nutrient uptake, causes lodging due to weakened plant foundation, may lead to significant maize crop losses.
