Colorado Potato Beetle on Potatoes

Solanum tuberosum L.

The Colorado potato beetle is a potato pest that destroys the plant's leaf surface. Large-scale infestation leads to a sharp decrease in photosynthetic activity and loss of yield.

In the reference 14 varieties crop Potato, where this is mentioned in the description.

The Colorado potato beetle causes damage to potatoes by consuming the leaf surface by both adults and larvae. With intensive damage, the foliage is almost completely destroyed, which prevents the plant from developing normally and accumulating tuber mass, potentially leading to the total loss of the crop.

In agronomic practice, the concept of R-resistance genes is not used in relation to this pest. The varietal resistance of potatoes to the Colorado potato beetle is based on morphological traits, such as leaf pubescence or roughness, as well as specific biochemical characteristics of the foliage that hinder insect feeding.
