Additional IPM notes
Leafhoppers are sap-feeding insects that can cause pale feeding marks, distorted growth and reduced plant vigour.
They are often mobile and may move in from surrounding vegetation, weeds or outdoor margins.
Monitoring should focus on leaf undersides, crop edges and warm sheltered areas.
Good IPM includes weed management, edge monitoring, preservation of natural enemies and early detection before populations spread.
