• Changing weather and fog increase aphid threat to mustard crops, causing significant yield damage.
• Agricultural experts advise regular field monitoring and timely action to prevent 20-30% yield reduction.
• Aphids weaken plants by sucking sap from tender shoots and pods; white rust also a concern.
