#43 - Ian Scott on Colorado Potato Beetles

Prince Edward Island Potato Board Season 4 Episode 4

In this episode of Spudchat, we talk to Dr. Ian Scott of AAFC in London, Ontario about insecticide resistance in Colorado potato beetles.  Ian was part of a team that worked for the last five years to test potato beetles from across Canada for resistance to commonly used insecticides, uncovering some very interesting results.  We talk about those results and the next steps in managing these persistent pests.
