Sheriff's Asso ciation conven tion next week at Sea Trail Plantation and Golf Links at Sunset Bcjteh. Davis said it DAVIS Insecticides Are Not Always The Answer Dear I'lant Doctor: Your advicc for roses was right on target because rose culture in our area requires very special attention. I used to have greater success with roses when I lived in upstate New York although diseases and beetles were ongoing problems there also. The main reason for this letter is to express my disapproval of your advicc regarding use of insecticides to eliminate Japanese Beetles. My practice is to knock these pests into a small jar containing some mineral oil. The jar lid should be popped on immediately after capture because these arc flying insects. This method works very well. We should avoid using insecticides whenever there is a good alternative. Answer: 1 agree completely and thank you for your comments. Insecticides have been the tradi tional method of insect control and arc still the most popular and effica cious means to protect plants. On the average, 1 expect that less than 45 minutes a week is spent working on the flower garden. Insecticides are a "quick fix" for insccl prob lems hence their great popularity. However, there arc numerous other non-chemical methods that can be utilized (and some that should not be used) for the control of Japanese beetles. The adult Japanese beetle feeds on over 275 different plant species and will often congregate on the flowers, fruit or foliage of the plant. The beetles spend about 10 months of the year in the soil in the larval form. "The root feeding larva is often responsible for severe injury to home lawns. The larva pupates in early spring and emerges as adult in the early summer to feed and lay eggs. Japanese beetles arc often most severe in new residential hous ing developments because of abun dance of host plants and few natural enemies. Controlling the beetle is best ac complishes through an integrated pest management program. One of die better natural control methods is C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist THE PLANT DOCTOR ihc use of milky spore disease (Bac illus popilliae). Spores of milky spore disease can be distributed on your lawn in the early fall. A large portion of the developing larva will be killed thus reducing next sum mers crop of bccdcs. In addition as milky spore disease bccomcs estab lished in your lawn, control as achieved for years to come. A parasitic nematode had been developed that is reported to control the beetle larva and many other soil insects. The product is called Bio Safe and is available from a Califor nia company called Biosys. Larkspur (Delphinium spp.) and geranium (Pelargonium spp.) inter planted with your roses may also help control the beetle. It seems these plants arc toxic to beetles eat ing the foliage.
