Controlling Potato Beetles With Insecticide

On commercial farms insecticides are the main method for controlling the beetle population. But probably because of their constantly evolving, the beetle seems to develop resistance to the pesticide and future generations are known to survive such treatment. Potato beetles have natural enemies like fungus which do seem to restrict them and pest control companies have developed formulations that can be used in conventional pesticide sprayers to spray these fungus on to the affected plants and thus help to control the beetles. Other suggested means of controlling the potato beetle is to rotate the pesticides used and find different classes of them, so that the potato beetle is not able to develop resistance to all pesticides.
