Insect Pestमिर्च का थ्रिप्स व माइट (चुरड़ा-मुरड़ा रोग)Parts: Leaves, Flowers, Fruit/Pods
Chilly Thrips & Mites Complex (Churda-Murda)
Affects: Chilly, Capsicum, Brinjal
Primary Chemical Cure
Broflanilide 300 g/l SC (Exponus) or Diafenthiuron 50% WP (Pegasus)
17 ml Exponus or 240 gm Pegasus per acre in 200L water.
Economic Threshold (ETL)
2-3 thrips or mites per leaf on top terminal shoot.
Initiate spray only when crossed
Bio & Organic Option
Spray Neem Oil 10,000 PPM @ 2.5 ml/liter + Pongamia pinnata (Karanj) oil.
Key Visual Diagnostic Symptoms
Inspect Leaves and Flowers and Fruit/Pods in the field for these definitive physical manifestations:
- Upward curling of leaf margins (boat-shaped) indicates Thrips infestation.
- Downward leaf curling (inverted boat) indicates Mite attack.
- Leaves become brittle, thick, bronzed, and flower buds drop off.
Weather & Climate Factors Fueling Outbreaks
Hot, dry spells favor Thrips; high humidity favors Mites.
Track real-time rain and humidity on our Aaj Ka Mausam Radar to preempt epidemics.
Preventive Agronomic & Cultural Controls
- Install 15-20 Blue Sticky Traps per acre for Thrips and Yellow Traps for Whiteflies.
- Intercrop with 2 rows of maize or bajra as barrier crop.

Frequently asked questions
The recommended chemical control is Broflanilide 300 g/l SC (Exponus) or Diafenthiuron 50% WP (Pegasus), applied at 17 ml Exponus or 240 gm Pegasus per acre in 200L water.. Ensure complete foliage coverage, spraying during early morning or evening hours.
2-3 thrips or mites per leaf on top terminal shoot.. Chemical sprays should only be initiated when the pest population or disease incidence crosses this threshold to avoid unnecessary spray costs and pesticide resistance.
Yes. Spray Neem Oil 10,000 PPM @ 2.5 ml/liter + Pongamia pinnata (Karanj) oil.. Combining biological controls with cultural practices like crop rotation and removing infected plant debris offers sustainable control without chemical residues.
