Hello,
The question on Neem oil for squash bugs reminded
that I'd been planning to check with folks on this list about using neem oil on
Colorado Potato Beetles. The research I've done so far seem contradictory
on how successful it is on CPB.
Last year we used, quite successfully, a
combination of DE and Rotenone as a dust once the populations got out of hand
for hand picking. But due to a cosmetic pesticide ban that's been put in
place in the province of Ontario, we are (so far) unable to get this product for
this year. (I'll leave out any sarcastic comments about organic pesticides being
placed into that ban, or the "cosmetic" portion of that for another debate when
I have more spare time!)
I've checked with Johnny's, and they can not send
to Canada the Azaguard product, which is a neem oil product. I can find
other neem oil products I could order though. I do have some Mycotrol on
the way, but from what I understand that is a preventative product more so than
an emergency treatment. Our populations are not in the emergency range
yet, but we are seeing some CPB pressure so I'll try to start using the Mycotrol
as soon as it arrives. If anyone has any experience with that product I'd
love to hear about it. I'm hoping it will prevent much hatching from
happening...we just found a few eggs for the first time yesterday in our
patches.
Thanks
Dave
