When I was growing up, in eastern Europe, we had a small potato plot and every few days during the growing season, we would go to the plot, scrape the little red eggs from the leaves, and hand-pick the larva and adult beetles, then crush everything with our feet. I'm guessing this wouldn't scale too well for larger producers, but seemed to be working well for us.
