CROP PROTECTION INNOVATIONS New tools and strategies are being developed through the collaboration of university researchers, innovative growers and bio-rational manufacturers. Some of these new tools are showing promising results when incorporated into integrated pest management programs for Colorado potato beetle. Mycoinsecticides like Beauveria bassiana or botanical insect growth regulators made with plant extracts such as azadirachtin are gaining traction in the fight. The Beauveria bassiana fungus, specifically the ANT-03 strain utilized in BioCeres mycoinsecticide, has shown replicated in-field trial results showing up to 80 percent reduction in larvae and 75 percent reduction in adult beetles. This unique strain of Beauveria bassiana infects beetles through direct contact with fungal spores, ingestion of treated host foliage, and transfer from one beetle to another. Beauveria bassiana conidia aggressively release additional spores into the field environment, helping provide control of larval and adult beetles throughout most of the season. In addition, studies have shown synergistic properties between Beauveria bassiana and imidacloprid, providing increased efficacy against multiple instar stages and adults. Although trials are still being conducted on additional synergy between the Beauveria bassiana strain and other traditional insecticides, the ANT-03 strain has proven to be highly aggressive on Colorado potato beetles and is a powerful tool that has yet to show any resistance challenges. Botanical insecticides and nematicides are a fantastic approach for controlling the early life cycle of Colorado potato beetles by acting as an insect growth regulator. Tests using a 3 percent concentration of azadirachtin (AzaGuard) have shown that it can help break up resistant populations of early larval stages and has shown synergistic properties when used in combination with biocontrols such as Beauveria bassiana and other conventional insecticides. Some studies have found that rotational sprays of Azadirachtin-based insecticides and Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) have shown stronger efficacy against early larval stages than either product used individually; however, it was noted efficacy was strongest when azadirachtin was applied first, followed four to five days later with Bt. There is no silver bullet product or approach to managing Colorado potato beetle in potatoes or any other affected crops. The only way to reduce crop losses from this pest is through a truly integrated approach to inhibit the further development of resistance. Growers must understand the enemy they're battling and utilize a multi-attack strategy, rotating different insecticide groups and incorporating non-chemical cultural practices into an integrated pest management program. We've all heard it before, and it's been repeated time and time again, but it remains the No. 1 piece of educational advice to help growers prevent Colorado potato beetle infestations: An ounce of prevention is likely to be worth a pound of cure.
