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 .

  • In organic management, use METARHIZIUM @ 1 kg / acre or bavaria bassiana at the rate of 250 gm / acre.
