Leafhoppers Control in Vines: Natural Program & Rate

Why it matters

Leafhoppers cause hopperburn on grapevines and can vector pathogens, weakening canopies before harvest.

On nymphs, before edge-yellowing/hopperburn develops; scout leaf undersides.

Small (a few mm), green to brown wedge-shaped insects that run sideways and hop/fly when disturbed.
Leaf yellowing, marginal browning and upward curling — 'hopperburn' — starting at leaf tips/edges.
Stippling and pale speckling from feeding; stunted, distorted growth in heavy infestations.

Apply Spider Mite Control with thorough underside coverage;
repeat per pressure.
Monitor early, treat at the right window above, and use cultural measures (sanitation, airflow/drainage or resistance/rotation as relevant).
