@Blackthorncox @cupgra Congratulations to you and all those working on Enigma Wireworm monitoring project. Thank you all for focusing on what can be a devastatingly destructive pest, to understand it better and help give us future food security. #wireworm #FoodSecurity #UKfarming

You can't research wireworms without, well, wireworms. Farmer volunteers report infestations, we gather as many as possible. They also let us set up traps in their field to test our wireworm-attracting semiochemical blend. #Wireworm infestation? 📧[email protected]
