Aphid Threat to Rabi Crops in Cold Fog: Farmers Must Act Now!

• Cold, humidity, and fog in January create ideal conditions for aphid multiplication, posing a significant threat to Rabi crops.
• Aphids are sap-sucking insects that weaken plants by extracting sap from leaves, flowers, and new shoots.
• Infestation leads to stunted growth, leaf curling, and a substantial reduction in crop yield.
• Rapid spread of aphids necessitates immediate identification and control measures to prevent crop ruin.
• Major Rabi crops like mustard, wheat, and gram are particularly vulnerable to aphid damage.

Why It Matters: Farmers must implement timely measures to control aphid infestation in Rabi crops during cold and foggy weather.
