This is found in excess quantity in many stem portions and the whole plant is turning yellow as if mosaic pattern. The yield is constantly decreasing too.What could be done to get rid of this problem in my kitchen garden?
You mean it to be egg of squash bugs?? But its not like that because we have reared it many times.It has been many days since the appearance and no change is found on except for its progression in stem..What it could be??
