Aphids are small, insects that can be yellow, brown or black in appearance. Generally, this pest is found on the lower surface of brinjal leaves, which make groups and suck the sap from the leaves, due to which the shape of the leaves deteriorates. These pests leave sticky honeydew on the leaves, which increases the chances of fungal diseases. Severe infection causes wilting of the leaves and stunted plant growth.
