Newbie potato grower here. I have a tiny dark brown, oblong-shaped pest eating holes in my potato leaves. The holes started out as tiny brown spots on the leaves and are now developing into irregular holes. I'm growing in Smart Pots and the damage is 2 1/2 to 3 feet off the ground. It's been hot and dry up until last night when we had rain. I checked this morning and the little pests are still on the leaves. Is this a major concern?
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
