I bought a gas-powered combination leaf blower/vacuum
a few years ago to attempt to control CPB on eggplant, and found it pretty
useless. The vacuum wasn’t strong enough to suck up the bugs – they
usually dropped off the plant and disappeared into the soil as the vacuum
approached. Maybe a stronger vacuum would work – I’m not sure. What I’ve been meaning to try is a
design I saw a few years ago where someone had mounted a furnace fan on a
walk-behind snowblower, then attached a screened box to an arm that extended
out to one side. The idea was to drive the snowblower down between the rows of
potatoes, with the arm extending over the row, and the box hanging down the
opposite side to catch the bugs blown off the plants. The inventor claimed it
worked great, but I’ve never seen it in action. Songberry Organic Farm 24 Sixth Line, email: rob AT songberry.ca web: www.songberry.ca facebook: become a fan of "Songberry
