Are your plant leaves are turning unhealthy?

Are they losing their colour?

Are you observing the Browning and drying of leaves and other plant parts?

Here is the answer for all the questions.

• The main reason for these problems are SPIDER MITES attack.
• Basically mites are summer season pest, sparsely we can see them in other season (winter & rainy season)
• We can see them by using binocular glass, usually they are Red in color and very minute in size.
• They will take shelter below leaf surfaces and other parts of the plant.

                                                                    

Mites are sucking pest, they effect the plant by sucking the sap from the leaves and other parts of the plant (sap is rich in all nutrients its food for sucking pests), and they spread the viral diseases to the plants. The affected parts turn into brown and finally they will get dry.
