Hello Sir,

We had planted capsicum seedlings, Syngenta - Orebello and Bombi variety. Initially some seedlings died due to damping off diseases but that is in control now.
However I have started noticing another issue with some plants, the leaf start to yellow from outer edges. This is happening in the plants that are near the edge of greenhouse and are the first plants to recieve the wind when we lift the curtains.


Thanks in advance.

Pests of Capsicum

This might be due to pests either Two-spotted mite or Aphid.

Two-spotted mite:
These are tiny (0.5 mm) web spinning mites, coloured yellow brown with two dark marks on the sides. They feed on the lower side of the leaves, and cause very yellow feeding marks. In severe infestations whole leaves turn yellow and webbing will cover the plant. Successful biological control using the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis depends on finding infestations of the pest early and releasing the predator immediately. Broad mite and strawberry (or cyclamen) mite are so tiny that they are difficult to see, but they cause distinct virus-like symptoms (distortion of leaves) and can prevent new growth. If pesticides are used, the plant must be thoroughly wetted. Amblyseius cucumeris may control small infestations of these mites.


Aphids:

Various aphids are fond of capsicum plants, especially the young leaves in the top of the plants. Symptoms of aphids include sticky honey dew, white empty skins on the leaves, and feeding injury in the form of curling leaf margins, yellow spots, and leaf distortion. Severe infection may cause leaf drop and as a result low production and sun scald on fruit. Aphids stain the fruit with their excrement and may transmit viruses.

Insecticides: Aphids are easily controlled with insecticides. Hence spraying of organophosphorus insecticides like
Dimethoate - 0.03 %
Phosphamidon 0.025%
Malathion 0.05 % ,
Diazion– 0.02% ,
Quinalphos – 0.025%

Regards
