Leaf curl problem is coming due to leaf curl virus in chili

Sucking pest whitefly and thrips are the main vectors of the leaf curl virus in chilli.
The whitefly and thrips spread the virus on plants known as Chura-mura (leaf curl virus) which also causes leaves to be damaged.
Ripe patches are formed on the mature leaves and the leaves are shredded into small cuts.
This can cause the leaves to dry or fall, and also inhibit the growth of chilli crops.
For management of this virus problem, control of sucking pests is essential. For its control, spray Acephate 50%+ Imidacloprid 1.8%SP @ 400 gm /acre or Diafenthiuron 50 % Wp @ 400 gm /acre .
