How to control Mites in chilli crop

  • These insects are small and red in colour, which is found in large quantities on the soft parts of the chilli crop such as leaves, flower buds, and twigs; the plants on which there is an attack of mites are visible on that part of the plant. By sucking the sap of the soft parts of the plant weakens them and finally, it affects the growth of the plant.
