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.
