Control Piercing-Sucking insects with Chico Solution and Increase yield

Piercing-sucking insects, including aphids and leafhoppers etc.., cause massive economic losses in major crops around the world.These insects have needle-like mouthparts to pierce plant cells and suck out the sap. They often cause more damage by spreading plant diseases than by feeding.

Insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts have strong mandibles that they move laterally to often cause yellowing or browning on plants, and possible wilting.

Aphids are one of the most persistent pests in agriculture. Although they are only 1–3 mm in size, their impact is enormous, as they can very quickly compromise both crop yield and plant health. Although there are thousands of species, several types of aphids exist among crops. They suck sap from leaves and stems, causing stunting and curling. More importantly, they are vectors for over 100 plant viruses that destroy crops like wheat, potatoes, and peppers. The damage caused by aphids is progressive and cumulative. Directly, the continuous sucking of sap leads to general weakening of the plant, stunted growth, chlorosis, deformities and leaf curling.

Leafhoppers (Hemiptera) are small insects, and both the nymph and adult stages can do serious damage to plants. they damage plants by puncturing the bottoms of leaves and sucking out plant juices. Very mobile and damaging to rice, potatoes, and beans. They inject toxins while feeding, causing a condition called "hopperburn" (leaf tips turn yellow and brown).
