Mexican Bean Beetle Control

Garden/Arborist · June 20, 2013

I dusted bush and pole green beans last evening with DE and again this morning while the leaves were still wet with dew thinking more DE may stick.

I picked beans this evening and the DE seems to have had zero effect.

Any good for suggestions for MBB control.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah but that stuff is poison, isn't it?

I'll get them in the morning. Thanks.
