disease or bugs on tomato plants
Comments (1)This looks to be flea beetle damage. Look for small black insects that jump when you disturb them. They love tomatoes and eggplant. I have used Sevin as a control.I am not sure if Ortho Lawn and Garden will control flea beetle. Read the label. Sevin is also good for cucumber beetle and all types of caterpillars. It is also toxic to pollinators so use with caution when plants are flowering....See More??Curling leaves, white bugs, green bugs, black bugs, tan bugs??
Comments (5)Thank you very much for the reply. It's definitely appreciated. Do you happen to know of any sort of organic sprays that I could put on the plants to prevent aphids from returning once I've pinched 'em all away? I think I might try spraying them off into a ditch or something because finding them all and pinching every one of them might be a bit too tedious for my likes. Thank you again....See MoreTiny black and white bugs on tomato plant leaves
Comments (0)These kind of look like Minute Pirate Bugs but are significantly smaller. They jump when touched and I'm almost certain they're responsible for the deadening of my plants. Leaves that are devoid of them are healthy and green. There are hundreds of them on each plant. I spent hours trying to figure out what they are with no success...See Moresmall black bugs on the tomato leaves????
Comments (2)i will definitely get on this tomorrow in the light ... LOL ... thanks so much for offering ... i read and i think it's either aphids or hopping flea bugs (???) darlene...See MoreOkiedawn OK Zone 7
