Leaf Miners on pumpkin seedlings

9 years ago

Hi All, I have clear Leaf Miner marks on my young pumpkin plants. The marks are only on the first two leaves (the seed leaf things) and not on the other three true leaves that have emerged. The plants appear to be growing fine. Is there any cause for concern?

if new growth is clean.. then i would presume that the culprit is long gone ...

but maybe that is just me ...

Thanks Ken, I appreciate it. Leaf Miners are not usually a concern of mine but I've never gotten them on plants this young so I was curious if they pose a bigger threat to seedlings.
