What is the reason for the problem of leaf curling in chilly crops and its solution?

  • Most of the damage in the chilli crop is due to the twisting of leaves, which is known as Kukda or Churda-Murda disease in different places. Due to which the leaves of chilli are twisted, this problem is due to the outbreak of thrips in the chilli crop, due to which the leaves of chillies turn upwards and become boat-shaped. Leaves shrink. The plant looks like a bush. Affected plants do not produce fruit. On seeing the symptoms, uproot the affected plant from the field. Keep the field free from weeds.

  • To prevent this problem, prevent thrips infestation in chilli field and if thrips infestation is seen then for its management, spray Fipronil 5% SC @ 400 ml/acre, Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre, Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml/acre, Spinosad 45% SC @ 75 ml/acre, CYANTRANILIPROLE 10.26 % OD @ 240 ml/acre.

  • Do not allow pest infestation in the crop because the disease of leaf curl is due to the infestation of insects.
