Infestation of sucking pests in okra crop

In the bhindi crop, the attack of sucking insects such as aphids, jassids, whitefly, mites etc. is commonly seen.
Both the nymphs and adults of all these sucking insects, suck the sap from the soft parts of the plants, flowers and leaves of the okra crop. Due to this, the growth of plants stops, the leaves wither and turn yellow, if there is more attack then the leaves also fall.
These insects also secrete a sticky substance on the infected part, which can increase fungal infection and also hinder photosynthesis.
Out of these, the whitefly is a vector of yellow vein mosaic virus disease of okra.
For Aphid/ jassid management use Acephate 50 %+ Imidacloprid 1.8 % SP @ 400 gm or Acetamiprid 20 % SP @ 100 gm or Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 100 ml/acre.
For white fly management use Diafenthiuron 50 % WP @ 250 gm or Flonicamid 50% WG @ 60 gm or Acetamiprid 20 % SP @ 100 gm/acre.
