Research scientists Dr. Ian Scott (AAFC-London) and Cheryl Trueman (U of G-Ridgetown) are collecting striped cucumber beetles in south western Ontario to test for resistance to imidacloprid (Admire). If you have cucumber beetles and would like to participate in the study, please contact one of the researchers listed below. All efforts will be made to collect insects from your location as soon as possible. Cucumber beetles from an organic farm or other site where beetles have not been exposed to imidacloprid are also needed.
