Foliar nematodes

Hi Joanie,

Try a search for foliar nematodes. Below are just a couple of sites I found.

Nematodes are not common to just hostas. Nematodes are nasty little 
things that are difficult to get rid of partly due to the effective 
pesticides having been removed from the market. Nematodes don't show up 
till later in the season. In hostas you will see brown/rustish color 
stripes between the leaf veins.

I am not an expert on the topic. I just know they are a scurge of 
hostaholics and very difficult to get rid of.
