Last year, for the first time, we used yellow sticky
traps and cucumber beetle lures (bought ours from Johnny's). They were
amazingly effective! Our cucumbers in the high tunnel went from being
significantly damaged to undamaged in just a few days. Then we moved them
to our outdoor production and they were effective there also. I think they are
worth a try for anyone having trouble with cucumber beetles.
On using Surround, we have tried it for squash beetles
and found it marginally effective, but found the clay hard to wash off the
fruit, and whitish clay on zucchini is very unattractive, and looks to the
customer like any other "chemical" spray. Not a incentive to buy
it!

We ask everybody what they do, try everything and are still troubled by the cucurbit Bad Boys. The Cornell agricultural website has a good study about using certain varieties as trap crops planted as a barrier and so on, but those insects remain a very difficult problem often requiring several different methods of control, vigilance and persistence. Soon, you will have your own methods to suggest and we will be glad to hear them. Of the wilt spread by their feeding, I haven't found anything that guarantees a crop. Shawnee, zone 5 |
