Organic Options for Colorado Potato Beetle Control (please consult your certifying party to determine if these products are allowed first before using)

Entrust Naturalyte

Insect Control

5

1 - 2 ozs

Treat eggs at hatch or small larvae.  Repeat applications may be necessary to protect new foliage.  Do not apply Entrust to consecutive

generations of Colorado potato beetle and do not make more than

two applications per single generation of Colorado potato beetle.

Aza-Direct

(azadirachtin)

1 - 2 pts

Best control is achieved at the upper end of the use range.  Does not

provide immediate mortality.  Foliage contact and coverage extremely important.

Neemix 4.5

Ecozin Plus 1.2% ME(azadirachtin)

UN

UN

2-16 oz

15-30 oz

Most effective on small larvae, initiate application when 25% of the initial egg masses have hatched or more than 200 small larvae are found on 25 vines, continue to scout and apply at 5 to 7 day intervals during egg hatching.  Allowed for organic production if allowed by sanctioning body

Azera(azadirachtin plus pyrethrins)

UN + 3A

1.0-3.5 pints

Most effective on small larvae, initiate application when 25% of the initial egg masses have hatched or more than 200 small larvae are found on 25 vines, continue to scout and apply at 5 to 7 day intervals during the egg hatching period, allowed for organic production if allowed by sanctioning body

Trident Biological Insecticide

(Bacillus thuringiensis

 Sub. tenebrionis)

Bt

3-6 quarts

Initiate application as soon as eggs begin to hatch, first and second instars or up to ¼ inch in length.  Must be ingested by the insect to be effective so thorough plant coverage is essential for best results. Larvae will not die immediately but will cease feeding and die in 2-4 days.  Reapply every 7-14 days as necessary to maintain control during periods when larvae are present but during periods of heavy infestation and extended egg hatch, reapply every 4-5 days.  Do not use spreading agents, especially silicone-based spreaders.
