Tiny white or light green soft-bodied insects, often found in clusters on the undersides of leaves. They may have wings or be wingless.
Appears as white, talcum powder-like coating on leaf surfaces, starting as small spots that spread to cover entire leaves.
Soft-bodied, slimy creatures without shells, typically gray or brown. Leave characteristic silvery slime trails.
Various sizes and colors of worm-like larvae, often green or brown, with distinct head capsules and multiple legs.
Dark brown to black irregular spots with yellow halos, often starting on lower leaves and progressing upward.
Roots appear dark brown or black, soft and mushy instead of firm and white/tan.
Most commonly aphids - small, soft-bodied insects that cluster on new growth. Look for sticky honeydew and yellowing leaves. Unlike whiteflies, aphids don't fly readily when disturbed.
Slug damage: Irregular holes with ragged edges, silvery slime trails, damage overnight.
Caterpillar damage: Clean, round holes, dark droppings (frass), visible caterpillars during inspection.
Chewing insects (caterpillars, beetles) create holes and notches. Sucking insects (aphids, whiteflies) cause yellowing, wilting, and sticky honeydew without obvious holes.
White, powdery coating on leaves, starting as small spots. Common on cucurbits (zucchini, squash, cucumbers) during humid conditions with poor air circulation.
Blight creates dark spots with yellow halos that spread rapidly. Other fungal spots may be circular with defined borders. Blight is more aggressive and can kill plants quickly.
Wilting despite moist soil is the key indicator. Check roots - healthy roots are white/tan and firm, while rotted roots are dark, mushy, and may smell foul.
Aphids are usually found in clusters and don't fly readily when disturbed. Whiteflies will fly up in a cloud when you touch the plant. Aphids also produce sticky honeydew, while whiteflies are more mobile.
The fruit is generally safe to eat if you wash it thoroughly, but the disease weakens the plant and reduces production. Focus on treating the plant and preventing spread to other cucurbits.
Look for slime trails - slugs always leave silvery, shiny trails. Caterpillars leave dark droppings (frass) and create cleaner holes. Slug damage is typically more irregular and ragged.
Yes! Most pest problems can be prevented or managed with cultural controls (proper spacing, watering, crop rotation), beneficial insects, and organic treatments like neem oil and insecticidal soap.
Remove plants with severe blight, advanced root rot, or heavy viral infections to prevent spread. If more than 50% of the plant is affected and treatment isn't working, removal is often the best option.
