Leafhopper Control In the successful use of insecti- cides there are three important points that should be correct: the insecticide, the manner of appli- cation and the timing of the treat- ment. In leafhopper control, the insecticide and the manner of ap- plication are already well under- stood. The timing of the treat- ment varies for one reason or an- other.
