Here is the completed table concerning common plant pests: S/N — Plant pest — Signs and symptoms — Source of pest — Part of plant affected — Example of plant1 — Cutworm — Cut parts of plants — Eggs of Moths that hatch into larvae — Shoots of plants — Soft plants e.g. cabbage, lettuce, celery 2 — Aphids — Stunted growth, curled/yellowed leaves, sticky honeydew, sooty mold — Small, soft-bodied insects (adults and nymphs) — Young shoots, leaves, buds, stems — Roses, tomatoes, beans, peppers, fruit trees 3 — Whiteflies — Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, sticky honeydew, sooty mold — Small, white-winged insects (adults and nymphs) — Underside of leaves, young shoots — Tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, ornamental plants 4 — Locusts — Irregular holes in leaves, defoliation, chewed stems, entire plants consumed — Adult insects and nymphs — Leaves, stems, flowers, fruits (entire plant) — Cereal crops (maize, wheat, rice), vegetables, pasture grasses
