The primary crops affected by this pest include eggplant, tomato, and melon beans. The infestation causes significant damage, especially to the foliage.
**Symptoms:** This pest has 10 to 20 generations per year. Both adults and nymphs feed on the underside of leaves, sucking out the sap. Over time, they move upward and outward across the plant. Infested leaves develop yellow and white spots, which can eventually lead to complete yellowing and drying of the entire plant.
**Life Cycle:** Adult insects tend to live in cracks in the soil and around the roots of weeds. In early spring, they reproduce in these weed areas and spread through crawling or being carried by wind and rain.
**Control Measures:**
(1) Maintain a clean garden by removing and burning or grinding crop residues after harvest.
(2) Apply insecticides such as 3,000 times dilution of a specific agent, 1,000 times dilution, or Nisso 3000. Alternatively, use 0.9% worm solution at 1,400 times dilution, applying it every 7 days. It's important to monitor the infestation regularly and rotate pesticides to prevent resistance.
In addition, encouraging natural predators like ladybugs or lacewings can help reduce pest populations. Proper irrigation and avoiding over-fertilization also play a role in maintaining plant health and reducing vulnerability to infestations. Regular field inspections are recommended to detect early signs of infestation and take prompt action.
