[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6129648, member: 166"] Try not to look in the crop mid afternoon on a hot still day, as that's when numbers are highest. Look again on a windy evening and you'll see less, so will make the more environmentally friendly decision not to treat! :) Note my wording about environmentally friendly, not crop friendly... A large % of pollen beetles are resistant to pyrethroids, so for no major decline in beetle yet a far bigger decline in future pollinators needed next week when that plant comes into flower will leave you net worse off. Try not to spray insecticides please, people. Excessive use of pyrethroids is why we're in this mess of resistance in the first place. :( [/QUOTE]
