The active ingredient carbaryl in a pesticide controls the asparagus beetle.

Specifically, it may be applied as a wettable powder or as a dust. Either way, it is used on the spears during harvest. There needs to be a three-day wait between applications. But there is just a one-day wait between application and harvest.

Carbaryl is an effective control. One problem in its use is its high toxicity for area bee populations. As a dust, it may drift and stick onto the pollen of nearby plants in bloom. Consequently, it is brought into the hive, where the pollen that the carbaryl dust contaminates may be the cause of high fatality rates among the hive's inhabitants.

What is milky spore solution?

Milky spore solution is a biological pesticide containing the spores of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) or Paenibacillus popilliae, which targets and controls Japanese beetle larvae in the soil. When applied, it infects the larvae, leading to their death and subsequently helps reduce the population of these pests over time. It is considered an environmentally friendly option for managing beetle infestations, as it specifically targets the pests without harming beneficial insects.


What happens during pesticide resistance?

A pesticide is a chemical designed to kill a pest, whether it is an insect, a weed, or a fungus. Let's use a fictional pest and insecticide we'll call Beetle A and A-B-Gone. At first, A-B-Gone seems to leave no trace of Beetle A. Farmers start using A-B-Gone everywhere. Nearly all of the Beetle A population is wiped out, but there are a few survivors. These survivors have a special mutation that allows them to survive the onslaught of A-B-Gone. The survivors then rapidly multiply, creating a full size population of Beetle A that is totally immune to A-B-Gone. The beetle is now insecticide resistant. Then companies invent a new, more toxic pesticide, and the cycle repeats. The situation is, the insecticides always end up being useless, but they poison the water, soil, and all the organisms in the area in the meantime.
