Why do white and black insects appear in basil?

The white insects seen in basil are often mealybugs or whiteflies.

Protect with Neem Oil Spray

Neem oil is considered very effective in protecting the basil plant from insects. For this, mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of neem oil in 1 liter of water and add a few drops of liquid soap in it. Now fill this mixture in a spray bottle and spray it thoroughly on top and bottom of the leaves of the plant in the evening.

Remove infected leaves immediately

If more white webs or insects are seen on some basil leaves, cut them immediately and separate them. Due to this the infection does not spread to the rest of the leaves. Do not make the mistake of leaving fallen leaves in the pot, as this can cause insects to attack the plant again. It is also important to keep cleaning the plant from time to time.

Provide proper sunlight and air to the plant

To keep the Tulsi plant healthy, it is necessary for it to get light sunlight and open air daily. Worms can grow rapidly due to excessive moisture and keeping it in a closed space. Try that water does not stagnate in the pot and the soil does not become too wet. With proper care and regular monitoring, the basil plant can remain green and healthy for a long time.
