Overall development objective:
“Corn production in Central Europe protected from losses caused by WCR through the development and implementation of IPM strategies by farmers, based on sound understanding of local agro-ecosystems and protection of biodiversity as the main element of sustainability of agricultural production”

WCR control and management, IPM of maize hase often been linked to
and were „satellite” topics of various research projects (e.g. Maize Case
Study and Maize Based Cropping System of the ENDURE (2007-2010)
EU funded project.
Multi-country cooperations, R&D projects
![Page 22: 20 YEARS OF DIABROTICA IN EUROPE, PRESENT …20 YEARS OF DIABROTICA IN EUROPE, PRESENT AND FUTURE CHALLENGES J. Kiss Plant Protection Institute Szent István University Gödöllı,](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060505/5f1e3f4995c133147e7b3dc3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Generating knowledge in Europe on:
- biology and ecology of WCR
- thresholds to support decision making
- control tools to manage WCR
- socio-economic implications
- IPM development for WCR
- involvement of key stakeholders
Bilateral or national activities, scientific cooperations among scientists
and institutions in EU, non-EU countries (USA, etc.), international
associations.
Verification of WCR related data and adaptation of conclusions
generated elsewhere to specific local conditions in Europe.
2000 - 2010

Accidental introduction of:
- D. barberi (with prolonged/extended diapause) ?
- may reach 13,9%-51,3% (Levine et al., 1992. J. Econ. Ent)
- D. v.virgifera (the rotation resistant variant) ?
If yes,
- the probability of detection of these beetles?
- crop and farm management response by farmers?

Genetically modified Diabrotica-active Bt-maize events in
the EU?
- Cry3Bb1 MON 863 and MON 88017;
- Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 DAS-59122-7;- mCry3A MIR604;
and
- pyramided Bt-maize expressing among others the:- Cry3Bb1 + Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 or the- Cry34Ab1/Cry35Ab1 + mCry3A proteins;
and
- future developments… including hybrids with multiple traits
How the cultivation of hybrids containing these events (if approved in
the EU) will impact maize cultivation practices and WCR management ?

Present and future challanges, opportunities
WCR is a pest of maize BUT in a maize + maize cultivation
system.
The frame of sustainable WCR management is a system
approach (arable cropping and/or farming systems) in a broad
spatio-temporal scale and adapted to regional/local conditions.
Great chance for policy makers to develope appropriate frame
for IPM and peaceful coexsistence with WCR
