PEST / BACTERIAL / FUNGAL DAMAGE SYMPTOMS IN CROP SYMPTOMS SUGGESTED PRODUCT Blister blight Small, pinhole-size spots are initially seen on young leaves less than a month old. As the leaves develop, the spots become transparent, larger, and light brown. Indofa + Bacillus Red Rust Leaves develop lesions that are roughly circular, raised, and purple to reddish-brown. The alga may spread from leaves to branches and fruit. Indofa Brown Blight, Grey Blight Small, oval, pale yellow-green spots first appear on young leaves. Often the spots are surrounded by a narrow, yellow zone. Indofa Twig Die Back, Stem Canker The first symptoms include browning and drooping of affected leaves. As the disease spreads into the shoots, they become dry and die. The entire branch can die from the tip downward. Indofa + Bacillus Red Root Rot Disease First symptoms appear as yellowing of the leaf followed by wilting and then the sudden death of the bush or entire bush with the weathered leaves attached to the stem for several days. Indofa Tea Mosquito Bug The nymphs and adults suck the sap of the young leaves, buds, and tender stems and while doing so, they inject toxic saliva which causes the breakdown of tissues around the site of feeding. Traps Thrips Feeds on tender above-ground parts, creating feeding scars, distortion of leaves, and discoloration of buds. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + Pacliq Leaf Eating Caterpillar In the early stages, the caterpillars are gregarious and scrape the chlorophyll content of leaf lamina giving it a papery white appearance. Later they become voracious feeders making irregular holes in the leaves. BT Jassid Both nymphs and adults suck the sap from the lower leaf surfaces through their piercing and sucking mouthparts. While sucking the plant sap, they also inject toxic saliva into the plant tissues, which leads to yellowing. Lifeline Aphids Nymphs and adults suck cell sap from the plant foliage. In addition, plants may become contaminated by honeydew produced by aphids and sooty mold growing on honeydew. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Bunch Caterpillar The damage is caused to the host plant by the caterpillars. The caterpillars eat the foliage of the host plant. Initially, they feed upon the surface tissues only but later on the whole blade is consumed. BT Red Spider Mite Spider mites usually extract the cell contents from the leaves using their long, needlelike mouthparts. this results in reduced chlorophyll content in the leaves, leading to the formation of white or yellow speckles on the leaves. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Purple Mite Damaged leaves are characterized by coppery brown discoloration; and the presence of numerous white cast skins of the mites along with the live mites; purple mites are prevalent on the undersurface of mature leaves. BT + Bacillus Yellow Mite Mite is seen on young leaves especially the top two to three leaves and the bud. Affected leaves become rough and brittle and have corky lines. Downward curling and internodes get shortened. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Scarlet Mite Symptoms of attack first appear on either side of the midrib and gradually spread to the entire leaf; feeding leads to brown discoloration of leaves and severe infestation leads to defoliation. BT + Bacillus Root Knot Nematode Infected plants in patches in the field. The formation of galls on the host root system is the primary symptom. Meta + BT + Pacliq
