Any idea what is eating this plant

[Trevor0179]

It could be the Leaf mining fly. We get some here also. If it is, it looks worse than it is. The plant will grow faster than they can do damage to it in most cases. I don’t even worry about it.

This damage was caused between 6 oclock yesterday eveing to today at 4pm so 10 hrs time

Well now that I know you're from Ontario, I'm think it might be a bear problem.

Cabbage moth larva? Might be a combination of things. Ever have trouble with slugs/snails? They can do a lot of damage.

Give neem oil a try. All mine, except one that's 3 weeks away from harvest is getting sprayed tonight. I've never had to use it on my weed before but I do use it weekly on citrus for scales and peas for PM. Good luck!

Plumbers grasshoppers are totally different from mine. Just ran outside and snapped this picture. (They'll get at least 4 times this size in another month.)

I love seeing the different sub species. I bet they squish just like the ones I have.

I'd guess either a Caterpillar or grasshopper. Try spraying a repellant like neem oil, rosemary oil, or even safers end all.

And why does every thread have someone recommending Calmag as a possible solution? Even the threads regarding obvious bug damage? Its wild...

I’m thinking grasshopper also and possible leaf mining fly. Maybe both.

Prepare for OD: ( always rotate your pesticide so no pest can be resistant or your pesticide becomes worthless/ needs more + a lot of pesticides have max seasonal sprays )

—-
Spinosad: Conserve sc ( awesome knockout to most soft bodies )
Neem extract : Azaguard - insect growth regulator insecticide/nematicide
Pyrethrins 5%: pyganic 5.0 ( anther great knockout to many species of pests)
Chromobacterium subtsugae:Grandevo
Burkholderia spp. strain A396: venerate xc ( awesome anti spider mites , even russets ! Many pests and even flower approved )

Reynoutria sachalinensis- Regalia ( fungicide switch with pesticide, every other time Inless heavy infestations)

Rotate every 5-10 day

That's a no good. What if anything have you tried?

Lightly dust with De Earth, organic and I use in my garden.

All I have tried is a light original dawn dishsoap and water spray early in the morning for 4 days in a row started on friday morning ending on monday this week
