Hi Steve,
Hope things are going well up your way. What is a good insectide to use on my tomatoes? Sevin, Malathion, Trazicide or something I can find easy.
Thanks again,
Doug

What pests? Sevin is still good but it's use can lead to mite problems later. Malathion will suppress mites to a degree while controlling mostly the same insects as Sevin. I prefer Triazicide to both.

Good Morning Steve,
My plants are about 12" high, looks like something is eating on the bottom of the leaf. They are not eating all the way thru the leaf just eating on it. I did see some kind of little fly thing about 1/8 long. NOT Sure if this was causing the damage.
Thank you,
doug

That type of damage might be cause by slugs or CBs. If you know you have slugs you might try some slug bait pellets or copper wire. If Cucumberbeetles are starting to nibble then the Triazicide would get the job done. Neither does both.
