Kick the cucumber beetle off vine crops o UNIVERSITY PARK - It is practically impossible to grow cucumbers, melons, and squash if you’re not controlling the cucumber beetle, says Penn State’s Robert Tetrault, Extension entomologist. According to Tetrault, the striped cucumber beetle is about V* inch long. It has a black head set against a bright yellow thotax (section behind the head). The beetle’s wings are (I j Harvesters, Haybines, \\ flla JJ Tractors, Cornplckers, Balers, Hydraulic tOJIOP Systems, Corn Binders Choppers • Integrally cast cylinders with inserted and removable wet type cylinder liners • Light hypereutectic alloy pistons • Extra-resistant steel connecting rods alloyed with special alloy head bearings • Surface hardened steel crankshaft • Drop-forged, casehardened and tempered steel camshaft • Anti-friction cast-iron tappets alloyed • Cast-iron tunnel type crankcase • Rotary injection pump with mechanical governor QUEEN ROAD REFRIGERATION yellowish green in color and are decorated with three black stripes. A slight variation to the stnped cucumber beetle is its cousin the twelve-spotted cucumber beetle. This close relative is distinguished by its six black spots on each wing cover.

As plants start to emerge, they eagerly move to their favorite hosts. The female beetles lay about 100 eggs over a long period of tune, producing one generation each year.

The baby and adult beetles do the most damage to the young plants emerging from the soil. The shock of having huge holes chewed m their tender leaves severely stunts or even kills the plants. As if deforming the plant and causing its death wasn’t bad enough, the beetle’s attack opens the door for other plant enemies, such as bacterial wilt. If the plant might have survived the beetle’s onslaught, it rarely can survive the bacterial invasion. How can the skirmish with the cucumber beetle be avoided. In some instances, a practical defense is ob tained by covering the young plants with hot caps or netting.
