Seedcorn Beetles are minor soil
pests that sometimes cause stand loss by feeding on the seed or germinating
embryo. Insect damage that occurs below the soil surface is difficult to
predict. It is also difficult to determine the need for a soil insecticide or
seed treatment. Seedcorn beetles and slender seedcorn beetles mostly feed on
other insects and rarely attack seeds. They are occasionally found under the
same conditions and in the same areas that are infested with wireworms.
