Corn is king in much of dairy country and is displacing alfalfa acres in the rotation because it supplies high forage quantity and quality. However, planting corn in the same fields year after year may lead to challenges in managing corn rootworm. Rotating fields with historically high levels of corn rootworm pressure out of corn can greatly aid in reducing corn rootworm populations and maintaining the efficacy of corn rootworm control options. This presentation will review alternative forage cropping plans that can help meet the feed needs of a dairy or livestock operation while also effectively managing corn rootworm.
