Potato leafhopper have arrived... [1]

Saturday, June 16, 2018

Potato leafhopper on apple foliage, 16-June, 2018. Photo by E. Garofal, UMass [2] Potato leafhopper (PLH) have arrived in Massachusetts, and pose a pest threat to young apple trees in particular. Scout for the presence of PLH in young apple planting and treat with an effective insecticide [3] before they damage and stunt apple foliage on newly planted trees. PLH on older, bearing orchards do not present as much a threat.
