Harmful Effects of Russet Alder Leaf Beetle

Mild to Severe

When russet Alder Leaf Beetle feeds on alder trees, it chiefly targets the leaves, chewing through the plant tissues. This causes physical damage, which manifest as holes or tattered edges on the foliage. Such damage can reduce the photosynthetic capacity of the plant, leading to stunted growth and potentially lowered overall health, making them more susceptible to other stresses.
