No garden is without these ubiquitous pests. They particularly like radish leaves. The damage is profound when the plants are very small. Spraying with one of various pesticides on a regular basis is probably the best control. Here is more information about this pest. http://InfoB.notlong.com http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html Durgan - Ontario, Zone "5"   Durgan  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Friday, July 06, 2007 - 08:45 pm EST :    http://aiwee.notlong.com 6 July 2007 Flea Beetle damage to second planting of Joi Choi. This was my first year of planting Joi Choi. I enjoyed the first few plants so much that I decided upon a second planting. The seeds were planted three days ago in the space made available when the garlic was removed. Today I noticed the ubiquitous flea beetle enjoying the fruits of my labour. There is also some more lettuce planted in the same area. The beetles do not attack the lettuce. The leaves of first planting of Joi Choi were riddled with flea beetle made holes. I decided to use Integrated Pest Management on this second planting, and the plants were sprayed with Malathion, much to my disgust and every inclination. http://FleaB.notlong.com 11 June 2006 This 2 to 3 mm long Flea Beetle causes much damage to Radishes, Joi Choi, Rutabago, and Horseradish in my garden http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html Durgan - Ontario, Zone "5"
