Correction

The numbers in last week’s flea beetle article were translated in our word processing program to 900F and 1000F from the correct 90F and 100F In the flea beetle model, the potential for flea beetle damage is calculated by adding together the average daily winter temperatures for the months of December, January, and February. If the average monthly temperatures for these months is less than 90F, then the risk of economic flea beetle infestations is low. If the total is between 90F and 100F, then moderate flea beetle damage can be expected. Heavy damage is possible if the three monthly averages total 100F or more.
