摘要：

An apparatus was developed to dig a trench and line it with plastic as a means of controlling the Colorado potato beetle. The apparatus was based on the concept of a plastic mulch laying device used by the market garden industry. The plastic lined trenches were ''V'' shaped in configuration with an average width at the top of 740 +/- 17 mm and a depth of 223 +/- 12 mm. Controlled experiments under field conditions demonstrated that trenches produced by the ''Beetle Excluder'' retained 95% of the beetles trapped. The trenches survived the weathering of a full season without requiring any maintenance.
