The Southern Nursery Flea Beetle Working-Group has put out a survey under the auspices of University of Georgia. The Universities of Maryland and Delaware recently joined forces with that working group with the goal of gathering information aimed at suppressing this continually destructive pest. If you have seen redheaded flea beetle in your containerized nursery stock please take this short survey. Ultimately the goal is to gather as much information as possible about this pest in an effort to come up with better recommendations for all of us in the industry.
Please contact Tim Waller (twaller@njaes.rutgers.edu) with any questions, severely damaged plant varieties, or personal observations pertaining to pest control and biology.
Thank you
