SYMPTOMS
Small, yellowish spots and speckles appear on leaves when true bugs stab leaves with needlelike mouthparts. Sites do not grow larger. Leaves may become distorted, turn brown, and wilt. Look for shield-shaped bugs crawling across leaves to confirm the diagnosis.

SYMPTOMS
Pale dots stipple the leaves. Leaf tips and edges turn brown (hopper burn). Leaves become coated with a clear, sticky, varnishlike substance on which gray-black mold grows. The plant may wilt. Look for small, wedge-shaped insects on the undersides of leaves that jump and fly away rapidly when disturbed.

DIAGNOSIS
