I've alway fought Colorado potato beetle for years in my area. Those things would eat a tater plant down to the nubbins.
I quit trying to grow taters about 10 years ago.
Well, after seeing Larry on the Corner have such great success growing taters....I thought I'd give it another try. I was going to experiment with wood chip type bed but time and constant threat of rain halted that idea.
Talked to my uncle who has successfully grown taters for years about what he did to prevent Colorado Potato Beetle infestation. He told me he uses Nuprid 2SC and sprays it in the row before the seed taters are laid in. He said he had great success with it.
I bought some and went online about how it works. It is a Systemic insecticide that stays in the entire plant system. I used it today to plant some taters.
Have any of y'all used Nuprid or anything like it???
Thanks
