Allee, Paula M. Davis] The interactions between manure and hybrid tolerance and their subsequent effects on the survival of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, and other soil arthropods were investigated in 1992 and 1993. To evaluate alternative management strategies for the western com rootworm, treatment combinations included 2 com hybrids (‘Pioneer hybrid 3733' and ‘Cornell 281'), 4 manure rates (0, 45, 90 and 135 metric ton/ha) and 3 western corn rootworm egg densities (1992: 0, 500, 700 eggs per 30.5-cm row; 1993: 0, 400, 800 eggs per 30.5-cm row). Pioneer hybrid 3733 has been rated superior to Cornell 281 in resistance to stalk and root lodging. Plots of Pioneer hybrid 3733 contained fewer western corn rootworm larvae on 6 July 1992, but the number of larvae and adults did not differ between hybrids on any other date. Although western com rootworm larval counts did not differ by manure rate in either year, adult emergence was reduced an average of 45% in manured plots compared with nonmanured plots in 1992. Wet soil conditions probably contributed to the reduced larval counts and adult emergence found in all plots in 1992 compared with 1993 and could have interacted with manure to increase mortality in treated plots. Adult emergence increased with egg density, but the ratio of emergence to egg density decreased as egg density increased. Numbers of mesostigmatid mites significantly increased in manured plots during both years. No evidence of enhanced predation was reflected in larval counts. Although previous studies have reported increased western com rootworm survival in tolerant com hybrids with large root systems, manure applications and the subsequent increase in root mass did not lead to increased western com rootworm populations. © 1996 Entomological Society of America Population Ecology nationallicence western corn rootworm nationallicence larval survival nationallicence adult emergence nationallicence manure nationallicence hybrid tolerance nationallicence Allee Leslie L.
