Western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte is an important pest which infests corn. First findings of Diabrotica v. virgifera in Slovenia date back to 2003. First beetles were found in the area of Prekmurje and Podravje near the border with Hungary and Croatia. To prevent the spread of western corn rootworm in Slovenia, first measures were adopted in 2004 with the Decision on demarcated zones and measures to prevent the spread of western corn rootworm, and the Rules on phytosanitary measures with regard to the spread of Diabrotica v. virgifera Le Conte. Phytosanitary Inspectorate is a part of the National Plant Protection Organisation and operates within the framework of the Inspectorate of Agriculture, Forestry and Food. It is authorised to inspect if the measures provided for by the national legislation. The supervision of implementation of the measures to prevent the spread of western corn rootworm started in 2005. Annually, from 198 to 627 producers of corn have been inspected in the demarcated zones of Diabrotica v. virgifera. The percentage share of infringers ranges from 5% to 29%. But taking into account production agricultural parcels, the percentage share of the agricultural parcels where appropriate measures have not been taken was 5.5% in 2007 and 5.4% in 2008. Most frequently, the measures have not been implemented on livestock farms with smaller agricultural parcels (total area of less than 0.5 ha) which are located in hilly areas where machine harvesting of corn is difficult.
