Recent European Union regulations aim at reducing the use of chemical pesticides in
agriculture. In sunflower production in Serbia, the use of synthetic insecticides for soil and seed
treatments has become a prevailing practice for wireworm (Coleoptera: Elateridae) control. However,
a number of compounds efficiently used as seed treatments have been phased out. This work aimed
at assessing the potential of an environmentally friendly “Attract and Kill” strategy (A&K) for
controlling wireworms in sunflower in comparison to conventional insecticides. The experiments
were carried out in 2018, 2019 and 2021 involving (a) soil treatments with ATTRACAP® and a Force
1.5 G; (b) seed treatments with Sonido, Force 20 CS, Lumiposa and Buteo Start 480 FS; (c) controls
(i.e., untreated seeds). The efficacy of the treatments was assessed based on the plant density and
emerging plant damage (%). A damage rating scale (levels 0–5) was created, aiming for a more reliable
and concrete interpre...tation of the results. Data were processed using binomial and multinomial
regressions, followed by modelling of the damage and calculating the odds of damage occurrence,
depending on the applied insecticide. In all experimental years and at all localities, the Force 20 CS
and/or Force 1.5 G treatments resulted in the highest plant density and the lowest percentage of plant
damage. ATTRACAP® showed good effectiveness, since plant density and percentage of damaged
plants were at the same level of significance as the commonly used conventional insecticides in
sunflower production (Sonido for seed treatment and Force 1.5 G for soil treatment). Thus, the
A&K strategy was efficient in controlling wireworms at conditions of low abundance, based on
three-year experimental results. Although the damage rating scale enabled a clear differentiation
of plant damage caused by wireworms responsible for reduced plant density, more reliable models
were obtained by binomial regressions, classifying plants as damaged or undamaged.
