hi vic and pat
there is a biological agent, similar to Bt, that is
supposed to work well on the blister beetles....look back at the
thread on "holistic approach to blister beetles" - There is a supplier to
talk to, if you want to go the biological route - call them, The Green Spot, in
New Hampshire, ask for Mike Cherim (he is good) at 603-942-8925
what pesticide did you use? what usually
happens with any organic/non-toxic pesticide is that the company doesnt give you
enough directions to use it effectively...they DO work, but they take more
careful application and have do be done more thoughtfully than the Ortho type
broad spectrum pesticides...
"Growing for Market" has a great resource person
write a column every month, "The Organic Advisor" (you can call him as a
consultant - dont know the charge but he is amazing - not only does he tell how
to deal with the problem right then and there, but WHY that problem arose in the
first place and what to do with your soil, fertility program, etc.
to PREVENT IT NEXT TIME)
