Ah yes, well, we have flea beetles, and thought they LIKE all nightshades,
they will take eggplant to the bare stems. I've tried all the soft stuff,
and have been told that beneficial nematodes introduced through the
irrigation will work, but eggplant just isn't a popular enough (profitable
enough) vegetable here in southern Kentucky to go to the trouble. Too many
more profitable things (like flowers) to grow on our very limited acreage.
