Re: Yellowness on leaves


    List
 OK everyone that has those suspicious little yellow spots in the leaves.
Go out to the patch and find the plant with the most yellowed leaves, take
that leaf and hold it gently look on the underside VERY CAREFULLY for tinny
little black flies that could fit on the head of a pin. They have clear wings
and actually could be anywhere on the plant. There damage is caused by
sucking the wound is usually round up to a dime size (or there about) first
turn yellow then brown and then open into holes. I believe our little friend
is a "THRIP". Bob Troy and myself have them pretty bad but I was able to
devastate the little buggers with TEMPO and am looking at the best plants I
have ever seen. Please let me know if you find the same little guys... Thanks
and Good luck everyone.....
