Leaf hoppers are highly transient, they will not remain on one plant but eat and hop along to another plant. They generally are more of a nuisance than a cause for concern. They can be a problem if therebis an infestation. I notmally see them a few times a year on my plants. I certainly would not put toxins on my plants for them. I would allow dome minor damage just like the odd aphid. Im assuming you are growing outdoors and there are ither plants for bugs to feed on nearby?
You should attempt to pick bugs like them off by hand!
