Cotton is one of the most important fibre crops in India. It is also regarded as white gold owing to the profitability of the crop. Although the crop is grown in most of the states several farmers are unaware of the plant protection practices that are to be done for the crop. Since the crop is grown in open fields there are high chances that it might get infected by several diseases. This blog highlights the major insects of cotton and suitable control measures for the same.
Cotton Leaf hoppers
Cotton Leafhopper is a major pest that causes problems for cotton growers across the country. This pest has also been associated with crop damage in okra, tomato, potato, brinjal, castor, and sunflower. By sucking sap, both the younger and adult stages harm the crop. Excessive sap sucking causes the leaf to turn yellow at the margin, which later turns brown, and the leaves to curl downwards at the margin.
