Description:

• Warm, dry climates are suitable for jassid infestations.

Damage Symptoms:

• Leaves turn yellow, showing distinct V-shaped yellowing at the tips and curling upwards.
• The leaf margin turns brown and then necrotic, causing leaf drop.
• Stunted growth of the plant, reduction in flowering, and poor fruit set development.
• Burning patches, called "hopper burn," can be seen in the field, caused by jassids.

Preventive Measures:

• Install sticky traps in the field.
