WIREWORMS!

We discuss the intriguing and troublesome life cycle of wireworms, from their beginnings as eggs to their transformation into click beetles.

Discover why wireworms pose such a significant threat to crops like beetroot, cereals, and oilseed rape, and learn about their unique defense mechanism—a clicking noise designed to startle predators. The conversation also touches on effective control methods, including crop rotation, soil management, and the role of natural predators.

Additionally, the hosts explore the fascinating relationship between beetles and magnolia trees, and share insights on other insects with long life cycles, such as cicadas. Join us for an engaging discussion on managing wireworms and protecting your crops from these pernicious pests.
