Hi,
I'm looking for approved organic controls for Japanese Beetles. I put
in a fair number of traps on the farm perimeter this season which have
been catching lots of beetles, but found beetles in my Japanese Plums
today. I harvested the first variety without any beetle damage, but
when I checked today almost every plum in the first variety which had
been missed - we finished the pick at dusk - had Japanese Beetle
damage. I have two more varieties which still need to ripen and haven't
been attacked yet. Any suggestions for controlling the beetles?
Thanks,
Andy
