P:Yellow spots appear on the leaves of my citrus, which darken with time. I tried to cut all the diseased leaves, leaving only young and he althy. It didn't help. The old leaves of the palm tree have stains similar to those of citrus. At first they are yellow, as if soaked with fat, with time they turn brown. What measures should I use?

O:There may be several reasons for the appearance of yellow spots on citrus leaves. Leaves may yellowfollowed bybrownand dry updue to too low air humidity in the room. The best way to prevent this from happening is to regularly and frequently sprinkle the plant with water. Another reason for the formation ofyellow discolorationon the leaves is the feeding of the hop spider mite Tetranyus urticae. This mite is visible under magnification (e.g. with a magnifying glass) on the underside of the leaf.
The body of the spider mite is light green, with the characteristicbrown spots po sidesIf these pests attacktree citrus , it is necessary to perform a chemical treatment with the use of spider mites, i.e.Magus 200 SC , or insecticideTalstar 100 ECRepeat the treatment after 6-7 days.
