Wireworms Damage
Irish Potato Crop
Wireworms are dealing North
Carolina's early Irish potato crop
a heavier blow with each passing
year, declares J. O. Rowell, ex
tension entomologist at State col
lege.
In the past little emphasis has
been laid on control measures, but
it now appears that immediate
steps must be taken to. combat this
insect menace.
Rowell explained that a large
number of market potatoes failed
to grade No. 1 last year because
of wireworm attacks. The true
wireworm, which is the larval or
worm stage of the click beetle, is
the spud's deadliest insect enemy.
Since wireworms commonly in-

fest .sod ..land, potatoes often suf
fer severely when planted on re
cently broken ground. Such le
guminous crops as clover, alfalta,
field peas, and soybeans are not
susceptible, to attack. Therefore,
potatoes may be ' planted with a
reasonable degree of safety on
new land following , a three or four
year rotation of wireworm immune
crops. ' . .
Rowell pointed out that many
crops such as corn, cotton, and
sweet potatoes are susceptible to
attack by this insect pest. When
these crops . follow Irish 'potatoes
on the same land, it appears that
the only, means of reducing wire
worm infestation in such fields is
clean cultivation from October
through the first of January.
In the Eastern counties where
soil erosion is not a 'serious prob
lem, the .ground should, be turned
as soon as the crop , is harvested
