The Harlequin Cabbage Bug Reaches Colorado Gardens
S. Arthur Johnson of Colorado Agricultural College notes the harlequin cabbage bug is more common in the South yet appears in northern districts. The pest injures cabbage mustard radish and related crops by sucking plant juices. Eggs hatch in two to four days. nymphs mature quickly and damage can be severe. Trap crops like mustard attract the bugs and permit strong kerosene emulsion applications. Radishes among cabbage may divert insects for the season. The bug is southern and unlikely to overwinter in Colorado except mild winters. If kept from injury this year it likely won’t persist next year, making trap crops particularly useful.
