Japanese Beetles
The Japanese beetle, Popilha japonca Newman, was first found in this country in 1916 in southern New Jersey. The adult Japanese beetle is a serious pest of shade trees, ornamental shrubs and vines, and many garden plants. The beetles teed on the upper surface of tree leaves, chewing out the tissue between the veins and leaving a lacelike skeleton. The injured leaves eventually turn brown and premature defoliation may occur. The trees most severely attacked include lindens, elms, Japanese maple, Norway maple, horse chestnut, birches, black walnut, apples, cherries, plum, and mountain ash.
The beetles are very damaging to roses, corn silk, grapevines, asparagus, rhubarb, and many fruits. The beetles prefer to feed on plants in the full sun, rarely attacking plants m dense shade. The larva (grub) also destroys large areas of turf in lawns and pastures
CONTROL: Chemical control of Japanese beetles can be achieved through soil applied or trunk injectable insecticides. Sod treatments are made m late summer or early fall tor beetle control the next year. Trunk injected insecticides are made when at the first sign of beetles. A foliar applied insecticide should only be made as a last resort under extreme beetle infestations.
