Dear friends
Upward curling symptoms were observed in the matured leaves of papaya seedlings transplanted in the field. As per our observation it is not a virus. What may be the reason for this kind of curling?

- Salicylic Acid (SA) is found in particular high quantities during infection. It's known that this plant hormone keeps guard cells open the effect of which obviously increases transpiration. Perhaps Salicylic Acid causes epinasty too and the water pumps would be supplemental increasers of transpiration by increasing the water pressure.

Don't give too much water. Salinity and waterlogging is not ideal for papaya growth
