Brussel Sprout Problems

Just wondered if anyone could help me out with identifying a problem
with
my
brussel sprouts.
The plants are still quite small (approx. 9" high) and they have been
out
for a couple of weeks. They have been looking really healthy up until
now.
Last night I noticed that some of the plants seem to have small holes in
the
leaves. Also, on the underside of some of the leaves are white flaky
bits
which fall off when you touch the leaf. They don't look too bad at the
moment but I want to nip any diseases / pests in the bud at the early
stage.
Any ideas (organic if possible)?
Flea Beetle! Use Derris dust on the plants.

Thanks Bob although I don't know what Derris dust is. Don't worry I will
Google and find out ASAP.
Thanks again
Jeannie
