Andy,

Although I've had no first hand experience controlling the beetles, Johnny's Seeds catalog does list acceptable means of control.  It doesn't mention a preferred method, though.  I would shy away from Pyganic if you want to preserve beneficial insects.

BT will do a number on the larva, you will have to stay after them as they will hatch out more than once.  - mac

Quoting Andy Fellenz :
Today I started observing feeding damage in my asparagus and several Spotted Asparagus Beetles.  How effective is Pyganic on asparagus beetle?  Are there other OMRI approved products which are either more effective or should be considered in a tank mix with the Pyganic? 

I plan to cut the asparagus for at least one more week and would like to find something with reasonably good knockdown so that I don't have to spend a lot of time in the packing shed inspecting for damaged asparagus.


Thanks,

Andy
