Cucumber beetles may seem to be a small problem- after all they can’t fall a plant in hours like the squash bug can- but cucumber beetles can actually be bad news for your garden!
These include flowers such as nasturtium and marigold. Or vegetables like radishes and corn.
Learning the lifecycle of a particular pest can help you decided when the best planting time is for your area.
These include the tachinid fly and braconid parasitoid wasp. both of which are parasites of the cucumber beetle.
Floating row covers, especially on early, young plants, can do a lot towards protecting your cucurbit plants.
