| Abstract: | A field scale vacuum insect collector designed for the control of the Colorado Potato Beetle,Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) was tested on potatoes in 1990. The vacuum collector was more effective against adults and small larvae than against large larvae. Results suggested that a large proportion of potato aphids can also be removed from plants. The spread of plant diseases PSTVd and PVX, readily transmitted by contact, was not increased by the repeated use of the vacuum collector. |
