1. Scale Insects

It is susceptible to various insect pests during its growth period. If it is scale insects, they mainly harm the leaves, which will turn yellow and die. The pests are yellow-brown or purple-brown in color and secrete white, transparent mucus. When you find them, you should spray them with medicine, such as diluted omethoate or malathion, and cut off the leaves with insects and destroy them.

2. Nematodes

Nematodes are also a common insect pest that can damage leaves, causing them to turn yellow and dry, and slow plant growth. Apply furandan granules once, cover with 10 cm thick soil after spraying, and then water thoroughly once. It will be eliminated soon. This method can target many kinds of insect pests.

3. Aphids

If infected with aphids, the entire plant will wilt and the leaves will turn yellow. When the number of pests is large, they will densely cover the surface of the leaves. You can spray imide sulfuric acid once every 7-10 days. It will be effective after two or three times in a row.

4. Whitefly

If infected by whiteflies, the leaves will turn yellow and the wounds will easily rot. When the infestation is serious, the entire plant may die. To spray omethoate, use 40% concentration, dilute it into a 1000-fold solution, or use DDT emulsifiable concentrate, both are also effective. In addition, the diseased leaves should be cut off and destroyed to avoid further infection.
