Pest Alert

The Tomato Potato Psyllid is currently causing problems for home-grown tomatoes. The psyllid is a tiny sap-sucking insect that looks like a small winged aphid around 3mm long. They are brownish with transparent cicada-like wings.

Tomato Potato Psyllid can also transfer a bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum to crops, which causes a disease that weakens plants and drastically reduces yields and quality.

What does the damage on your tomato look like?

Plants may look stunted, leaves may curl and yellow. Fruit development is uneven, and tomatoes may be misshapen, very small, or no fruit is produced due to flowers falling off the trusses.

Get rid of this pest with Yates^® Success^™ Ultra Insect Control, a low-toxic formulation developed for use on edible plants. Yates^® Success^™ contains spinetoram, the latest generation insect control derived from beneficial soil bacteria.
