We have the un-luck to have gotten corn flea beetles in what was
absolutely beautiful corn. I have visited many websites on this problem
but I am not finding any way to control them or the disease they cause.
It just says to plant resistent varieties next year. Is it true
there is no control for them? Shall we just give up on the corn?

Regular(?) flea beetles are controlled with Sevin. You might read
the label on a bottle and see what dose etc to use for corn, if
applicable. One thing I found, Sevin and pumpkins DO NOT like each
other. 'kins are almost dead...grrrr....



Well, for the first year in like 6 or 7, we seem to have some nice
honeybee visitors. They expecially like the cleomes. So I cannot be
using Sevin. But thank you for responding.
