So actually water the plants with neem oil ? Not spray the leaves where the bugs are? Thanks for helping any info is good.

Yes....you want to water them cause it works from the inside to repel ALL leaf munchers....I use it while in veg...I do not spray because I have no bugs and this makes sure I don't get any...you on the other hand may need to spray and like chewie said do it at sundown or lights out to prevent burn...good luck man
Have you tried watering them with it? It's organic and works great as a preventitive...I water once a week with the neem and when I go into flower I stop and do nothing but top my soil and watch them bud

Leafhoppers are always a threat wherever cilantro is grown. Leafhoppers may transmit a disease called Aster’s Yellows.
Leaf hoppers are small, somewhat triangular variable-colored insects that hang out on the undersides of leaves or on stems.
They suck the juices out of plant leaves and inject stunting microorganisms into the plant’s leaves. They may stunt your cilantro’s growth or if the infestation is heavy, even kill your plants.
Insecticidal soap spray, neem oil, pyrethrum, and/or Diatomaceous Earth (DE) have all been effectively used by organic gardeners to control these pests..
