Bean beetle
parasites released^
on schedule
CHESTERTOWN, Md -
Contrary to rumor, the
Maryland Department of
Agriculture's Mexican bean
beetle parasite release
“blitz” on the Central
Eastern Shore is right on
schedule.
William F. Gunpel, Jr., of
MDA, who is supervising the
program, says that over
100,000 parasites have been
released. “As a matter of
fact, we are slightly ahead of
schedule,” he said.
Some of the 300 farmers
participating in the program
in Kent, Caroline, Queen
Annes, Talbot and Dor
chester counties have called
extension service agents in
their counties saying they
have heard there is a
shortage of parasites. The
agents have relayed their
concerns to Gunpel’s office
‘ ‘What might have touched
off the rumors is the fact that
our original plans called for
securing bean beetle larvae
from South Carolina fields to
use the production of
parasites for release. This
supply was not available so
we had to increase parasite
production at the College
Park laboratory.
“The New Jersey
Department of Agriculture
also is assisting us in the
production of parasites, and

their production along with
ours at College Park will
provide us with the parasites
we need for the project.
“Parasite releases in the
snap bean/soybean ‘nurse
plots’ are being carried out
on a split basis in that twin
releases are made in each
plot five to seven days apart
We have stepped up
production and are meeting
the schedule,” Gimpel
said.
The program underway
this year in the five counties
is a cooperative effort by
MDA, the Maryland ex
tension service and USDA’s
Animal and Plant
Inspection Service to*
demonstrate that coor
dinated and massive em
ployment of bean beetle
parasties can be an effective
tool in controlling the
destructive Mexican bean
beetle. APHIS is supplying
the major funding support
for the program which is
being closely observed by
plant protection and pest
management officials in
neighboring states.
The parasite being used is
a wasp which, while har
mless to humans, lays its
eggs in the larvae of the bean
beetles. The beetle larvae
are then destroyed when the
wasp eggs hatch.
