What is a "potato beetle"?
A potato beetle is a notorious pest that affects potato plants and other members of the nightshade family. This beetle is characterized by its distinctive yellow and black striped body and oval shape. Both the adult beetles and their larvae feed voraciously on the leaves and stems of potato plants, causing significant damage to the foliage. If left uncontrolled, potato beetle infestations can lead to reduced potato yields and crop loss. Effective pest management strategies, including cultural practices, biological control agents, and appropriate insecticides, are employed to prevent and mitigate the damage caused by potato beetles and protect potato crops.
