severe stunting of the plants with downward rolling and crinkling of the leaves.
The newly emerging leaves exhibit slight yellow colouration.

11. POSSIBLE CAUSES Inadequate spacing
Poor cultural practices, such as weeds and pest control.
Disease infestation
Time of harvesting

12. Control/preventive measures
