The hormworms are in full force. It does help some if you can find the time to scout several times a day. I scout two to three times a day and finding them. Noticing the frass helps. If you see it, start checking all the leaves. darn things are very good at hiding on leaves and under them too. You can check a plant all over walk away and come back and find more of them. grrrrrrrrr.
Check too ones with holes in them. Some damage may not be from the hornworms alone. There a small brown looking worm that eats holes and stays hidden inside the tomato. It leaves a bunch of frass too. BT was suggested to me to get rid of them. Think Ginger called them a tomato fruit worm. Worse than the hornworms. At least those you can see.
