Bean Beetle Control Tips for Taylor County Farmers
The Mexican bean beetle threatens Taylor County crops with heavy activity. Apply magnesium arsenate at two pounds per acre in 100 gallons of water, or calcium arsenate in mixtures, spraying under leaf surfaces when eggs hatch and plants show first true leaves. Depending on infestation, spray 1–4 times at 7–10 day intervals, or use dusts with hydrated lime or sulfur dust. If beetles are numerous, plant bush varieties of beans and harvest only what can be properly treated, then plow under heavily infested plants.
