A few curled #leaves. Tiny #insects under the foliage. Sticky residue on stems. Holes appearing overnight. If you grow food or keep #plants, you might wonder fast: what insect spray works but does not hurt the plants or the helpful #bugs?
A healthy #plant can change overnight. One morning the #leaves look fresh and green; the next day, they may show holes, sticky stuff, curled edges, or tiny crawling #insects.
Keeping fields safe from #insect damage is a key job in #farming. Pests may chew on #leaves and stems. They can also harm #flowers and #fruits. In some cases, #plant growth slows down too.
