I have been trying to figure out why my terrace garden Capsicum and Chilli plants are developing leaf curl and growth is stopping. Though there is lot of info on the web about the issue but most of it explains in bits and pieces.And sometimes it is confusing. Your video is well structured , covers the topic completely including the multiple causes and provides the various solution options. Thanks for the same.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I always try explain things in a vivid and complete way so that the viewers will get benefitted. Thanks again for the appreciation!
Your recommendation is very clear and helpful for many gardeners. Particularly the brand names for the different types of diseases which many find difficult to get. Thanks.🙏
Excellent video! Very well explained. Precise and concise. In most of the videos of this kind, there is too much of unwanted talking! In this case, every word spoken was informative! Thank you!
Oh God !!! It's very simple. No need to speak as much as......just let the 3 table spoon of rice flour, one tea spoon of soya beans powder. Mix it with 100 ml water. Let it ferment 12 hrs. The day after add 1 litre water .filter this mix spray on the affected plants. It's my own treatment.
Its true that even if you put fertilizer on chili pepper it doesnt grow . I .notice that theres some white aphids stuck on the branches and back of the leaves. Its good that you explained the causes of curling leaves. Thank you so much.
Sir your voice is perfect 👍🏻 I could understand every words. Please do make on the effect of spraying salt solution as Herbicides by local farmers. May be it reduce the yield and local farmers loss their labour and energy.
You covered all the important points , hats off to you👏 It was nice that you mentioned all possible reasons, because identification is very important in the field but could get very confusing without proper knowledge
This is a similar problem I found on pepper plants. the plants infected with such disease are remain green but stunted growth massively curled. infection starts from the tip of a plant and progresses to young and mature leaves.
If it starts with young leaves and gradually spreads, then it's thrips and mites attack, mostly thrips. Apply the pesticides mentioned in this video, you'll definitely get good results!
Very good question! There are some pesticides and fungicide which you can use together, check their compatibility before that. On the other hand, there are some fungicide like copper hydrochloride (e.g. Tata Blitox) which cannot be used with any other fungicide or pesticides. So, my suggestion would be to use them separately, at least a gap of 3 days.
@@GrowNMore thanks. This happened to about 350 Mahogany saplings. After spraying and one rain, the new leaves are coming. I will remove the older leaves after another rain.
thank you for this. This has been the most informative video that I have seen on the issue of leaf curling. My pepper plants are all seedlings and they don't have branches yet. their top leaves are affected by leaf curl. I did the chemicql spray but so far no new non diseased leaves are growing. should I throw all these seedlings away and grow a new batch instead? or will pruning the curled upper leaves help?
Thanks a lot for your comment! Actually you can try pruning those leaves, but as they are at seedling stage, they might take much longer time to recover from it.
Thank you sir for the informative video. I am visiting your channel for the first time. I am experiencing the problem you had mentioned, in our garden. Chilly plants. . I will try to treat them . Lots are flowers blossom but they don't mature into chillies they wither and fall. What to do.🤔🙏🙏🙏 🤔
Yes, this could be a problem due to pest attacks, also overwatering and lack of sunlight might lead to the same kind of problem you mentioned. Check for those. Another thing you can try is to use synthetic auxin hormon or PGR (like Planofix from Bayer), just spray the plant with it - 2-3 drops per lit (not more than that, be very careful about its dosing) when the fruits are just forming or just before the flowering, it will prevent prematured fruit drops.
Im in love with the concept of gardening and I started collecting vegetables ,flowers Indore plants and all kind of plants I have total collection 468 species but I m new in gardening . And it's very discouraging for me all my tomatoes , paper leaves are curled Bec of white spots on my leaves like white flies. And my rose leaves have black dotes which turn the leaves yellow. Help me
My portulaca plants younger leaves are becoming curly😭newly grown leaves are being curly as well😭i have cut all the younger leaves still new leaves are growing as curled...plants are not able to produce flower😭please sir what can i do to save them..reply please😭i don't want to see them dying😭
Offcourse it will affect the vegetables or fruits. Priority should be given to the organic treatment. However sometimes you might need the chemical treatment but in very small dose.
Thank you so much for the informaton🙏whr can I get neem oil for plants? Is it available n supermarkets?? I hv just started growing plants in my balcony. Can we grow two or three chilli plants in one pot?? Is it ok? Pls advice🙏
You can buy in any pesticides shop or online, just be sure it should be at least 1000 ppm in concentration. Yes you can grow two chilli plants in a single pot, but the container should be sufficiently large, at least 12 inch in diameter.
Do these insecticides kill the mites that causes leaf galls? I just saw them on my Potato leaves tonight when I checked them. Also are they available in the US? If so could you provide links to where they are sold? I have Neem oil but not the other two you showed.
Yes, Malathion is a broad spectrum insecticide, you can use that. But it's not that much effective against thrips. It's good to control mite, white flies attacks. Dosage - 1.5 ml to 2 ml per litre. You should spray the entire plant next day to get rid of residual chemicals which your plant won't use. It's also beneficial for opening of stomata in the leaves which is necessary for plant's respiration process.
Thank you so much. All my green Pepper leaves are curly and brittle. those chemicals mentioned above are not available in my country (Zambia). Most we use BOOM and BOME. Can I use them? They are mostly multipurpose.
Yes, you can try those. Actually I have no idea about those medicines you mentioned, but it's better to try something rather than leaving the plant untreated.
A very good information. Can I use it on my hibiscus as the leaves are curling and not producing flowers. What is the solution if some parts of leaves are turning off-whitish? Please suggest.
Thanx alot for these valuable tips . Actually all the leaves of my hibiscus plant have curled inspire of spraying neem oil and Saaf weekly but to no effect. Is it advisable to remove the plant. Even the mogra plants have been infected with some pests under the leaves which fail to respond to treatment. Your sane advice will be appreciated. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes, the neem oil is what I prefer to use in all my kitchen garden plants, but sometimes the infection spreads rapidly and can't be controlled by neem oil alone. This video is to just give an idea about what to do in that situation and it's mostly suitable for commercial growers. Those who want to grow chillies at home, I would also suggest not to use any chemical in those.
If you are from India, then you might heard the name 'Lakhman rekha' (white powdery substance to repel ants), you can smash those and sprinkle around your plants, problem solved!
Wonderful video. I have this leaf curl problem in my chilli plants. I have Imidachlropid (first spraying) but I don't have Oberon. Can I spray Alika or should I get Oberon ?
@@GrowNMore Thank you Sir for pointing me in the right direction. Some of my fully developed and grown plants suddenly start wilting and are dead in a few days. Could it be root fungus problem. ?
*Main cause is excessive heat or wind which evaporate water in plants. Water the roots* during intermittently during day time and even in night if due to wind. Make sure you are not flooding the area.
Sir plz suggest some organic fertilizer which is common for all the flowering plants in the garden and also the foliage plants. I don't want separate for hibiscus, oleander,frangipani.chillies,jasmine,adeniums,curry leaves,etc.. General home garden
2-3 ml per litre of cold water. Note that you need to use ice cold water for it and apply in the evening time. Kaka is good for mites only. There is a short video on Kaka in my channel, please see that.
Can u pl tell after we spray soapy water with need oil or the chemicals them when do we wash the plant with fresh water or do we not wash the soapy water or chemical . Pl reply thanks

Thank you so much!
Good information. Do keep put on such information periodically
Thank you so much! I'll keep on posting such videos.
First of all thank you very much for this wonderful informative video. Sir, can we use fungicide and pesticide simultaneously???
Very good question! There are some pesticides and fungicide which you can use together, check their compatibility before that. On the other hand, there are some fungicide like copper hydrochloride (e.g. Tata Blitox) which cannot be used with any other fungicide or pesticides. So, my suggestion would be to use them separately, at least a gap of 3 days.

Make a video on 5 litre sprayer used here.
Sure, I'll. I have been using this sprayer for last few years and it is amazing. Here is the link for this product - amzn.to/3QjztOq
Is it ok if the older leaves are all still curled but the new ones are healthy?
Yes, it's perfectly fine as long as the new ones are healthy. But it's also better to remove the infected ones to avoid chance of infection spreading.
