Symptoms
Damage is caused by adults and nymphs feeding on the host tissue. This produces tiny grey or silvery spots on leaves and fruit (stippling). Infestations on leaves are frequently greater than on fruits. Damage to leaves inhibits photosynthesis and can lead to necrosis. Severe infestations can lead to premature leaf fall, dieback and decreased vigour.
