Abstract

Ten years of research work conducted in the Department for Agricultural Zoology of the Agriculture faculty in Zngreb concerning the western corn rootworm (WCR) resulted in 45 scientific and professional papers published in foreign or national publications and meeting proceedings. All of these publications are rewieved in this paper. The development of the WCR in Croatia and Europe confirms the first statement that this insect pest will develop in Europe even faster than in the USA. This paper is intended to support new research on of the WCR, which is underway in many countries of Europe.
