Extract

Clean summer fallow is often recommended for reducing wireworm and white-grub infestations, but our investigations on this subject, conducted during the years 1933–35 at the Ukrainian Rubber Plants Experimental Station (near Kremenchug) showed that in arable fertile “ chernozem ” soil there is no significant decrease in the number of these pests after a clean summer fallow. These divergent results led us to suppose that the reaction of various species of wireworms and white-grubs to soil cultivation and fallow may be different.
