I have two cherry tomato plants. Just yesterday I started to notice a white rimming at the tips and sides of the leaves. Upon closer inspection, the white is sort of powdery and there seems to be very tiny dots of black that almost appear to be eggs of some kind. I live in Northern California (if that helps any.) I was wondering what could I use to rid myself of these bugs without harming the produce or the plant. Thank you!
How to safely rid my tomato plant of infestation?
I would get and insecticide soap, there is a brand called SAFE that makes one that is not harmful for fruit/veggies that you intend to eat. If the white areas are not adjacent to the dots, it may also be fungal, which there is a spray for as well.
Reply:Try 1 tbsp of the old fashion dish soap or baby shampoo in a gal of water, use as a spray
Reply:I would start whith anti fungal soap spray and follow the directions.. Or ask your local garden center.. Good luck........................
Reply:okay here goes natural method mix equal parts of dish liquid and listerine the bug will hate it and the plant will love you for it . best natural thing i ever found really works. good luck .
