Corn rootworm (Diabrotica spp.) is effectively managed through crop rotation because:
-
A
Rotation changes soil pH, making the environment hostile to rootworm larvae
-
B
Rootworm eggs laid in corn fields hatch into larvae that cannot survive without corn roots
-
C
Rotation increases beneficial nematode populations that parasitize rootworm eggs
-
D
Rootworm adults do not fly and cannot colonize new fields after rotation
