Common Problems affecting Green brinjal Plants and Solutions

Green brinjal can attract Colorado potato bugs, which can be manually controlled if found early and plants are inspected often. Otherwise, registered insecticides for beetle management, such as bio pest control for sucking and biting pests, may be required. Infestations of flea beetles can be avoided by using row coverings to protect new transplants. After roughly a month in the field, the plants are large enough to tolerate any foliar damage, and yields are unaffected. Verticillium wilt is a widespread soil-borne disease that causes plant stunting, leaf yellowing, wilting, and death. To avoid verticillium and other soil-borne diseases, grow green brinjal at the exact location only once every three to four years, if possible.
