Topic: Flea Beatles

[gilly]

Hi

Our first year of allotment veg growing and we have flea beatles on our purple sprouting and brussel sprouts - is it worth getting rid of them? Tried spraying a week ago but they are back again.  Dont want to use too much pesticide if i can help it

Thanks

By the time either of these crops are ready to harvest the flea beetles should be gone. Any damage now will probably not significantly reduce your crop, just make the plants look more unsightly (if that is possible with cole crops).

Gilly - don't forget the 'Pests' section. = Tim
