Q.Corn/Tomato

Anonymous added on June 25, 2012 | Answered

My corn is only knee high and it already is tasseling out and it’s standard size corn. Tomato’s leaves are drying up, and there are small white fly-like bugs all over them. Some are just stems now.

First, both of these crops need plenty of water, especially corn as they have very shallow roots. Make sure they are receiving at least 2 inches of water per week, or about 20 min. of deep watering. As for your tomatoes and white flies, this can be treated with neem oil. Here is more information that should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/insects/whitefly-control.htm
