Japanese Beetle Threat in Rhode Island Orchards and Gardens
The Japanese beetle, now at peak flight in Rhode Island, spreads across the state with five to six weeks of activity. Rhode Island Department of Agriculture notes significant infestations, but a lead arsenate treatment near Providence cut beetle counts by about 75 percent from last year. Trapping and soil treatment remain key to keeping economic losses at bay while awaiting natural enemies to increase.
