Symptoms of damage

Mite infestation becomes more in September. Due to the infestation of this pest, the yield is greatly affected. These are very tiny insects that suck the sap from the lower surface of the leaves, causing the leaves to turn downwards (like an inverted boat). Due to sucking of sap from the leaves, white to yellow spots appear on the surface of the leaves. As the infection progresses, the leaves first appear silver in color and later these leaves fall.  

Control measures

  • For biological treatment, spray Brigade B @ 1 kg + silicomaxx  @ 50 ml per acre, @ 150 to 200 liters of water.

  • For chemical control, take a spray of Oberon (Spiromesifen 22.90% SC) @ 160 ml or Omite (propargite 57% EC) @ 600 ml + silicomaxx @ 50 ml per acre
