Flea beetles
I think they've been around my potatoes for some time, but I finally noticed exactly what they were last night. Since my potatoes are well established, should I worry about them? And if I should worry about them, what should I do about it? Thanks!

Re: Flea beetles
From what I read no worries on well established plants. However, be aware thatpotato flea beetles are vectors for scab. http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/ent425/text18/plantvectors.htmlmoswell wrote:I think they've been around my potatoes for some time, but I finally noticed exactly what they were last night.

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: Flea beetles
Hmm, so the plants themselves should be okay, but there's a danger the larvae will hurt the actual crop I'm trying to produce. Hmm. . .maybe I should think about DE anyway. I never see bees or ladybugs near the potato plants, so they should be safe from the DE there.camprn wrote:From what I read no worries on well established plants.
