The larvae of the potato flea beetle will
feed on potato tubers causing pits and roughness. The pits appear
as black spots on peeled potatoes. Adult flea beetles can cause
serious damage to seedlings usually feeding on the undersides of
leaves leaving numerous small round or irregularly shaped holes
generally not all the way through the leaf. Flea beetles can also
be a vector of potato diseases. |
