Aphids (Myzus persicae)

Symptoms

• Suck plant sap from growing points.
• Heavy feeding causes leaf yellowing and curling and stunted shoots.
• Produce honeydew, a sugary substance that hosts sooty mold growth and attracts ants.

Management

• Spray neem garlic emulsion (20 ml neem oil + 20 gram garlic paste + 5 gram bar soap/litre of water).
