Entomologist R E Hill of the University of Nebraska warns central and western Nebraska potato growers to spray for potato psyllids this summer.

One good application may suffice, but three to four may be needed for full control. Similar treatment is advised for potato leafhoppers in eastern and central Nebraska.
