Abstract

Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a leading pest of solanaceous plants, which include crop plants like potato, tomato and eggplant. Nowadays CPB spreads throughout Europe, North America, Asia, some parts of North Africa, and the temperate Southern Hemisphere. This pest develops from the egg stage to adult beetles on the host plant, and during this time they can severely damage, even completely defoliate the plant.

CPB is resistant to more than 50 insecticides worldwide and also to Bt pathotoxins.
