Midway results for our #potatoes test with #frass. #fleabeetles still there. Hopefully, at harvest, we'll have a good potato crop.

Did you know we publish an #EditorsChoice in each new journal issue? Why not go through them this week?

The latest #RESAgForestEnt Issue #OpenAccess one reports on how #FleaBeetles in OSR differ in phenology & habitat choices for reproduction & overwintering

A crucifer flea beetle and a striped beetle feed on a damaged canola leaf.

Two crucifer flea beetles feed on a heavily damaged canola stem.

Flea beetles are out in force! These were taken on volunteer canola around Edmonton. They've been active in S AB for a month now - but will be an issue as canola emerges.

Photos snapped on a windy day - and the amount of stem feeding is pretty high.
