Check for Worms and Flea Beetles in Field Crops
In this period two common pests are cut worms and flea beetles. Inspect one square yard of topsoil to a depth of 0.5 to 1 inch for cut worm larvae. Look for cut plants, leaf feeding, or bare patches as signs. Do not treat until three or four larvae are found in the sample area.
Flea Beetle Issues in Canola Crops
Flea beetles attack canola mainly in May and June during seedling growth and occasionally in August on pods. Damage appears as leaf shot holes and control is advised once 25 percent of leaf area is destroyed. Seed treatment reduces risk, but perimeter groves and adjacent planting can raise populations.
