ABSTRACT Diaproticiticidal effectiveness and diabroticite specificity of insecticides is enhanced by admixture with dry cucurbitacinous products derived, preferably, from hybrid Cucurbitales plant tissue. Hybrid plants bred from (wild) bitter Cucurbitaceae species and (domesticated) non-bitter species (e.g., Cucurbita andreana x C. maxima or C. texana x C. pepo) provide high yields of plant fruits with high concen- trations of cucurbitacins, which are attractant/arrestants and feeding stimulants for diabroticites. In one embodiment, dried ground fruits of Cucurbita hybrid plants are admixed with essentially minute quantities of insecticides to provide diabroticite-specific insecticide compositions allowing for effective, economical, environmentally safe control of diabroticites such as corn rootworm beetles.
