Sažetak
The WCR is the most important pest of corn in the U.S.A. It was discovered in Europe in 1992 near the airport of Belgrade , Serbia. From thenis spread through Serbia and invaded Croatia, Hungary, Romania and Bosna and Herzegovina. In 1996 about 60 000 sqkm were infested. Towards the west in Croatia the WCR reached Našice and Slav. Brod. Untill now great damages were registered only in Serbia on 11 000 ha of corn. Comparing suitable factors for the WCR in the U.S.A. with climatic and other conditions in Croatia, we consider that this pest will acclimatise fast not only in Croatia but also in other regions of Middle Europe. We expect that the WCR, at least at the begin, will propagate and spread faster in Europe than in the U.S.Some biotical and ecological data about this new insect in Europe and the possibilities of its control are given. The experiences obtained in Croatia in monitoring the WCR are stated and some suggestions for the monitoring in Slovenia given.
