Sampling techniques were evaluated to quantify immature mint flea beetle (MFB), Longitrsus waterhousei Kutschera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), on peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), in central Oregon. During the study period, 1985-1988, soil samples of 350 cm³ were effective for collecting immature MFB. Sifting soil samples through screens was effective for estimating post-feeding...

and other plants in the family Solanaceae, but tuber flea beetle larvae are the most common cause of flea beetle damage to potato...
Field experiments were done to test the relative
effectiveness of single and multiple biological control
agents in reducing weed populations using two insects, the
cinnabar moth, Tvria iacobaeae (L.), and the ragwort flea
beetle, Lonqitarsus iacobaeae (Waterhouse). These two
insects were released for biological control of the biennial weed tansy...
