The help of commercial potato growers and home gardeners who grow potatoes is being sought by Marilyn Steiner, an entomologist at the Alberta Environmental Centre in Vegreville, in her attempt to locate tuber flea beetle infestations. The severe damage experienced in home gardens in Edmonton during the last few years, and the possibility that the beetles may invade commercial potato fields is causing concern. Although this insect has been a serious potato pest in the western part of North America since the 1920's, it was only reported in Alberta in 1974 when it showed up in Edmonton home gardens. Subsequent reports indicate that the damage it causes is now wide- spread throughout the Edmonton area, and tubers showing the characteristic damage have been submitted in the last year to the regional crop laboratory at the Alberta Horticultural Research Center in Brooks.
