Management of sucking pests in potato crop

  • Due to sucking insects in potato crops, there is heavy damage to the crop, as well as adversely affecting the quality of the crop. In the potato crop, there is an outbreak of the following sucking insects such as aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly and mites etc. It is necessary to control these pests in time.

  • Aphids, jassids – Its nymphs and adults harm the plants by sucking the sap of the leaves.

  • Thrips-  These very tiny insects are black or yellow in colour. Adults suck the sap from the leaves by scraping the leaves.

  • Whitefly- They are small in size and white in colour, which sucks the sap of the leaves. Due to which the growth of plants is hindered. Whitefly acts as a carrier for the virus.

  • For the management of aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly spray Thiamethoxam 25% WP @ 100 gm or Acephate 75% SP 300 gm/acre or Acetamiprid 20% SP 100 gm or Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 250 gm per acre.

  • Mites- Leaves become reddish-brown in colour and dry up. For its control, spray Propergite 57% EC 400 ml or Ethion 50% EC 600 ml or Sulfur 80% WDG @ 500 gm/acre.
