My potato tubers are destroyed by white grubs eating into the tuber.  What can I use to control white grubs in potatoes?  Is Scots Grub X an option?

I don't need a diagnosis-- I know what the problem is---WHITE GRUBS.  I would like a solution that doesn't cost more than the crop is worth.

I'm sorry.  I am a home economist and food scientist.  I do not have any expertise with plants and treatments.  The folks at the Plant and Insect Diagnostic clinic would have the expertise to answer your question.  I'm sorry, but I do not.
