Leafhoppers on tomato stem
18 years ago
Found some snow white tiny hoppers that were hard to see unless they moved on a tomato leaf stem. In this case I just snipped off the stem and drowned the buggers, but what should I do if more show up in a place I can't snip? I see now that the stem beside the one I removed also has some of that white cottony-scaley stuff, too.
Any suggestions?
