Leaf Hoppers in Cotton Crops
Leafhopper or Indian cotton jassid is a common pest affecting several types of crops in India. Its nymph appears in translucent green colour with no wings and is seen between the veins under the leaf. The adult pests are green and wedged. Here is some more information about its infestation in cotton and how to control them.
The tender leaves become yellowish and their margins will curl downwards. Severe infestation leads to reddening of the leaves or becoming bronze coloured, which is called hopper burning. The curled leaf margins will be crumbled and broken, leaving the leaves dry which affects the growth of the plants.
Leafhoppers in cotton can be controlled with early preventive measures and regular use of insecticides mentioned here. We hope that this information will be helpful for you.
