Surround can be pretty effective on transplants in order to help get them established.(you need to keep coverage up until they're off to a good start)

Entrust (spinosad) also seems to provide awfully good control of Flea Beetles. You'll have to check the label to ensure that its registered for the crop your producing. I know that a number of university studies in recent years have proven its efficacy on brassicas and there have been moves towards broader labeling for those crops.

Flea beetle season has started here in upstate NY. These are always my worst pest. They sneak under the row covers and do damage to many of the brassica plantings. Has anyone had success with any control mechanisms besides row cover?

Thanks all,
