I was spring my pumpkins today and noticed some red beetles with white spots covering my potato leaves. They were about the size of raisenetts. I've never seen them before, and I've been growing potatoes for years. could you tell me if that's what those are called, and if this will kill them? I live in Minnesota, zone 4.
Yes, Sevin Concentrate will kill beetles on potatoes. This can be used at the rate of 1.5 fl. oz. per gallon of water.. This application can be done up to 6 times a year. Be sure to wait at least 7 days before harvest.
