What organic methods have anybody found that works against
harlequin bugs?
We got some of that new ORMI-approved Azera (pyganic + azadirachitn)
and it appears to be really effective for squash bugs and flea beetles,
also cucumber beetles, but we only use as a last resort due to it
expense -- similar to Entrust.
Azera appears to knock harlequin bugs down, but then 90% get up
and start moving around after 20 minutes.
I think we have the Pyganic 1.4. Would the Pyganic 5.0 make
a difference?
As soon as the brassicas/arugula are gone I don't see harlequin
bugs hanging around on summer crops, but there is a window
of infestation in spring when they cause a headache.
