White fly outbreak in moong crop

There is a possibility of many types of pests in different stages in the moong crop. If these pests are properly identified and managed at the proper time, then a considerable part of the produce can be saved from destruction. Today, through this article, we will know about the pest, the symptoms and management of the whitefly in the moong –
Both the young and adults of this insect suck the sap from the leaves, due to which the leaves of the plants turn downwards. The growth of the plant stops and the leaves dry up and fall. Whitefly develops a layer of black mould on the leaves of plants, due to which the process of photosynthesis is adversely affected.
This insect is also a carrier of the yellow vein mosaic virus disease.
For its management, spray Diafenthiuron 50% WP [Pager] @ 250 gm or Flonicamid 50% WG [Panama] @ 60 ml or Acetamiprid 20% SP [Novaceta] @ 100 gm/acre.
