SYNOPSIS
I’ve received several reports of injury from grape colaspis; in some cases it’s pretty extensive. Scout lighter textured soils and high points in rotated corn (or soybean following soybean), especially in areas that have had trouble in the past. The adults lay eggs in legumes; the partially grown larvae overwinter, then feed on roots of corn, soybean, or most other plants the following year. They resemble tiny white grubs.
