- Intervention effect Parasitic wasp release kept Mexican bean beetle populations below economic thresholds through the growing season.
- Intervention effect Wasp treated plots yielded 34.2 kg versus 15.2 kg in untreated plots.
- Intervention effect Row covers controlled beetle populations slightly more effectively than staggered planting.
- Intervention effect Staggered planting plots averaged 9.5 kg yield versus 6.0 kg in untreated plots.
- Observation Treated plots ended with 75 adult, 57 pupal, 275 larval and 94 parasitized larval beetles, versus 98 adult, 214 pupal and 420 larval beetles in untreated plots.
- Recommendation The authors identify P. foveolatus release as a viable beetle control option, especially in organic systems.
