Fig. 1. Average leaf water potential ( A ), shoot dry weight ( B ), and root dry weight ( C ) of maize plants infested with western corn rootworm neonate larvae in Experiment 1. Data were combined for all trials. Although untransformed data are shown, analyses were performed using rank-transformed data ( A ) or log-transformed [log <sub>10</sub> (x +1)] data ( B and C ). Bars with different letters are significantly different ( P ≤ 0.05).

Fig. 2. Average number of recovered larvae ( A ) and larval dry weight ( B ) of western corn rootworm larvae in Experiment 1. Data were combined for all the trials. Trial 3 was removed from the analysis of larval dry weight for Experiment 1 because of the large number of missing values for the very dry treatment for all infestation levels. Although untransformed data are shown, analyses were performed using rank-transformed data ( A ) and log-transformed [log <sub>10</sub> (x +0.1)] data ( B ). Bars with different letters are significantly different ( P ≤ 0.05). Uppercase letters in ( A ) indicate comparisons between western corn rootworm infestation levels. Lowercase letters in ( A ) indicate comparisons between soil moisture levels within western corn rootworm infestation level. Lowercase letters in ( B ) indicate comparisons between western corn rootworm infestation levels.
