- Title
Epitrix pubescens can cause damage to potato ( Solanum tuberosum).
- Authors
Highet, F.; Pearson, K.
- Abstract
Potato ( Solanum tuberosum) has not been recorded as a host of Epitrix pubescens ( Koch, 1803), a species of flea beetle present in Europe. However, anecdotal evidence was received of damage to potato leaves caused by flea beetles observed during inspections of potato crops and also on potato plants within a garden in France. Although potato may not act as a host for all life stages of this beetle, adults may feed on foliage and cause foliar symptoms similar to those caused by non-native Epitrix species.
