Leafhopper burn This injury to beans is caused by, the Potato Leaf- hopper and at a distance could be mistaken for bronz- ing. The potato leafhoppers are pale green, wedge- shaped insects about 1/8 inch long. When disturbed, leafhoppers move equally well forwards, backwards or sideways. The young nymphs feed on the, under- side of the leaves by sucking the juices. Severe infest-.;. ations cause wilting and leaf tips will turn brown or give a burnt appearance. If adults are present in large numbers they would be noticeable when cultivating or walking through the crop. Insecticides used for bean beetle control will also con- trol the leafhopper.
