Pictured below Selena McKoy, Wilson County Cooperative Extension intern, helping Danny Lauderdale, Cooperative Extension Area Specialized agent (based in Wilson County), pot up a red headed flea beetle research project at Gardens Alive this summer. Red headed flea beetles are increasing problem for nursery growers.  Research that Danny conducted has resulted in finding products that will help break the life cycle of this insect at the larva stage.
