Asparagus can be a long-lived and productive vegetable. The highly desirable crowns can provide harvests of delicious stems for over 20 years, provided they are healthy and well-maintained. Unfortunately, one pest that risks the future of your plants is the pesky asparagus beetle.
Asparagus beetles feed on spears and foliage, affecting your harvest and ultimately the long-term health of the crowns. If you grow asparagus and don't want your yield of tender spears to be affected, it pays to know how to spot and control the asparagus beetle.
