Bucket, the beetles fly into the field after the crop has emerged. Spraying 2 weeks before they show-up won't help.

I thought pounce had a residual effect.

I agree This year when crop is sitting freeze drying and not growing , beetles could be bad but early seeded yellow on any other year would be fine

Pounce is 7 days. Coragen gives you up to 21

But those residuals are if it is sprayed on a plant, not on bare ground. I don't think Fleabeatles eat soil

contact? Sound like iceman now, Roger.

How can the insecticide contact fleabeatles that are not even in the field at the time of spraying?

We don't have color sorters in any of our plants. I don't actually feel we can gain much by using them so have avoided installing them. Generally, guys charge 2-3 cents per pound on something like lentils. Mustard is small seed and a hard sort, may be higher cost.
