Caterpillars

[Jedi]

They small so its hard to spot them.

I,ve got some organic pesticide that works for Spider mites and thrips.

But the small Caterpillars are still there , creating havoc on the new leaf grow


How about tobacco mixed with water and spray ?

Wow I haven't had caterpillars in forever.

I use this stuff called "Safer" Brand Insect Killing Soap w/ Seaweed Extract that you should be able to get at any decent garden center.
You can use it all the way up to the day of harvest if you need too.

Oh gosh no on the tobacco (search:TMV)

Spinosad....no better pillar getter than this...
and its organically derived product use a day before harvest (not recommended by me)

Shines and sheens can plug up sensitive respritory components...and they will reduce the level of photo absob\rbtion of key light frequencies

Safer Caterpillar killer wit b.t. which is a Bacillus that when ingested blocks the caterpillars from eating,then they die in a few day but do not continue to eat or chew. Totally Organic,b.t. will only work on caterpillars.

Tobacco/nicotine as an insecticide is powerful and kills everything. WORD OF WARNING.......... NICOTINE IS ONE OF THE DEADLIEST POISONS ON THE PLANET, IT CAN AND WILL BE ABSORBED TRANSDERMALY (THROUGH THE SKIN). MAKE NO MISTAKE IT WILL DO YOU THE JOB. and give your plants mosaic virus
Stick with the Safer, its name sezs it all.
