Basil with black/silver circles

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

Hi all,

We have a 1,000SF greenhouse primarily with basil. We just came down
with something that I've never seen before. It's in two batches, one in
the front of the gh and one towards the middle. I can't find anything on
Google. Thoughts?
Is it a disease, or a bug eating away at it?
Thanks.

Four-lined plant bugs? I don't know, because they don't exist where I live, but the damage looks similar to photos that have been posted before.

That's it! A quick google search on their damage shows exactly what we have and I have seen one of them before in the greenhouse. Now we can look up measures to remove them. Thank you SO much!!
