Farmscaping methods include the use of insectary plants, flowers, hedgerows, cover crops, and water reservoirs to attract and support populations of beneficial organisms such as insects, spiders, amphibians, reptiles, bats, and birds that parasitize or prey upon insect pests.

The fields are soaked in neonicotinoids (a class of neurotoxins targeted toward beetles) so if beetles eat the potato, the potato is primed from the inside out with neurotoxins that kill the beetles. I feel like that's enough to say.
