can interfere with pollination, and in these instances 
insecticides are applied for adult control. 
The brief introduction above, providing some general 
information about the western corn rootworm and the 
northern corn rootworm was written to assist the student 
and the researcher. All references in the bibliography 
were examined, except those preceded by the symbol *. 
A “Listing of References by Rootworm Species” has been 
included, following the numbered bibliography entries, 
so that users of the bibliography will be able to tell readily 
which of the numbered papers deal with which species of 
Stations of the University of Illinois, the University of 
Minnesota, and Purdue University in cooperation with 
USDA Cooperative States Research Project “Soil Arthro- 
pods 316-15-97” and USEPA project “Bionomics and 
Management of Soil Arthropod Pests 802547-5.” Coop- 
erating institutions and principal state investigators in 
these projects are listed below:
