Gaps/Possible Solution
• There are no pesticides registered for the
control of insects/diseases in tea except
for purple mites and FCM
• Should any of these pests affect tea in
large extent, the tea industry may be hit
hard
• Think that there are possible opportunities
for registration of pesticides for this pests
through this process
