The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) is the main insect pest of potatoes in North America. Integrated pest management (IPM) is designed to manage pest populations by using several ecologically sustainable methods of control, with the objective of maintaining population densities below the economic injury level. This report reviews: the biology of the Colorado potato beetle and factors influencing its life cycle; the economic injury level in terms of number of beetles per plant, as determined from a study conducted in Quebec; a sampling plan developed to facilitate IPM decision-making; the effect of plant defoliation on potato yields; and pest control strategies for the beetle, including crop rotation, late planting, the use of mulches and barriers, biological control, and use of insecticides.
