Center of Cereal Leaf Beetle Infestation
The cereal leaf beetle is a small grain pest that is native to Europe and Asia. In 1962, it was found near Galien, Michigan in Berrien County thought to have infested a load of fertilizer from Asia. It spread across the Midwest, the East Coast, Ontario, Canada, and also in most wheat-producing states in the western United States. The cereal leaf beetle was initially an important defoliator destroying entire wheat and oats fields. The beetle life cycle was totally dependent on those crops from egg laying, larvae, to adult. Initially, the infestation was treated through various pesticides from farmers on the ground to the government spraying by aircraft. However, through US Dept of Agriculture, Michigan State University, and other labs, research discovered natural parasitoids and a major multi-state release program ensued. Within a few years, the cereal leaf beetle infestation was brought under control. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Underlybill (talk • contribs) 02:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
