Got Beetles?

Chuck Bornt, Team Leader, Extension Vegetable Specialist
Eastern New York Commercial Horticulture

June 30, 2021

Anyone that takes care of a pool knows that inthe last couple of weeks you've probably been fishing out a bunch of brown or brownish silver "bugs".  These "bugs" aremostly Orientalbeetles, June Bugs and Asiatic garden beetles. These beetles, along with Japanese Beetles are the adults of the "whitegrub" complex that affects many lawns, but can also affect many different vegetable and small fruit crops.  Theadults can feed on leaves of plants such as sunflowers, basil, raspberries, carrots,beets and a 100 other different plants. Japanese beetles can also be found in the silks of sweet corn whenpopulations are high.  Although that canbe a problem, the majority of the damage in vegetables comes from the larvae or "white grub" stage feeding on the roots of several different root crops such as sweet potato, carrots and even Irish potatoes. Their long narrow tunnels can cause many roots to be unmarketable.  I dusted off an old article written by former Cornell Cooperative Extension Vegetable Specialist Amy Ivy on how to identify the different beetles and grubs that might be lurking in your fields, lawn and pool

2025 CCE ENYCHP Subscriptions and Guidelines

2025 Guidelines and CCE ENYCHP Subscriptions

We just wanted to let everyone know that the 2025 Cornell Guides for Integrated Pest Management (aka The Recommends), will not be available in either print or online versions until the end of March at the earliest, with many not releasing until April. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This is also why we were delaying the Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Subscription notice as we offer the ability for you to order those Management Guidelines through our program. Below is the link to the 2025 CCE ENYCHP Subscription form as well as a link to our 2024 Annual Report.

For questions or comments, please contact Chuck Bornt at 518-859-6213 or cdb13@cornell.edu 

Thank you and have a great 2025 season!
