Leafhoppers - Help!
My crop has become infested with little green flying bugs, leafhoppers I believe. What is the best way to get rid of these things without poisoning my plants?

You can try hanging yellow no pest strips near the plants, they are attracted to the color yellow. This will only get a small part of the population but will give you an idea how bad the infestation really is.

If you shake the plants and they all fly off you can use a vacuum cleaner hose to suck them up. Other than that a little neem or insecticidal soap should blast them pretty good. Minute pirate bugs and paristoid wasps are their natural enemies if you want to try that route.
