Description: A front-mounted prototype designed to pneumatically remove Colorado Potato Beetles (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), from potato plants was tested in the field. Effects of different combinations of airflow velocities, airflow widths, and travel speeds were investigated. Results showed that dislodging and capture ofCPB were better for adults and large larvae (L3 and L4). On the other hand, neither the airflow width and velocity nor the travel speed significantly affected the dislodging and collection of small larvae (Ll and L2). Field trials on the removal of larvae under the effect ofdifferent travel speeds showed that collection of L3-L4larvae was improved at reduced travel speeds. Operating in the field at a travel speed of 6 kmlh while maintaining a good collection efficacy does appear possible. This study demonstrates the potential of pneumatic control of CPB adults and L3-L4 larvae.
