Figure 2.
Effects of structural rotation (winter wheat/maize/soybean) on WCR population levels over the years. Numbers of WCR adults/trap/day (total sum at six weeks) in two different scenarios are shown—the first with a high percentage of continuous maize (blue lines and symbols = CM1, CM2) in Treviso province and the second based on structural rotation (red lines and symbols = SR1, SR2) at Vallevecchia pilot farm in Venice province (2016–2020), both in north-eastern Italy. Legend: CM1 = high presence of continuous maize with traps in continuous maize fields (Treviso); CM2 = high presence of continuous maize with traps in rotated maize fields (Treviso); SR1 = extensive structural crop rotation with traps in continuous maize fields (Vallevecchia, Venice); SR2 = extensive structural crop rotation with traps in first-year maize (Vallevecchia, Venice). Numbers are two-point moving averages.
