CONTROL OF COLORADO POTATO BEETLE, LEPTINOTARSA DECEMLINEATA, IN SHIPMENTS OF HARVESTED POTATOES

Abstract

Can. Ent. 109: 285-288 (1977) Adults and pupae of the Colorado potato beetle were controlled by treatment with methyl bromide at levels that did not injure new potatoes at 25°C. At lower temperatures the tolerance of the new potatoes was slightly reduced. A dosage schedule that will control adults and pupae without injury to the potatoes is given.
