Certain antibiotics, specifically streptomycin and oxytetracycline, may be effective in the fight against citrus greening disease and have been used in the United States but have been banned in Brazil and the European Union. In 2016, the EPA allowed use of streptomycin and oxytetracyclin on orchards with citrus fruits like grapefruits, oranges and tangerines in Florida on an emergency basis, this approval was expanded and broadened to other states for oxytetracycline in December 2018. Further expansion of medically important antibiotics is proposed by the EPA but opposed by the FDA and CDC, primarily as antibiotic resistance can be expected to develop and impact human health.

Hi Ismail Khan as per your images the symtoms are much close to Citrus Greening Disease and Anthracnose of Citrus . I am agreed with the diagnosis of Sali ji. Quick Soultion : 1. First of all remove such leaves which are severly infested and buried them into deep soil away from orchard. 2. Add decomposed animal manure fertilizer to over come the plant stress. 3. Incase of organic approach (Recommended) Go for the application of Neem Oil 50 EC. It is an organic and easily available product in our Pakistani markets. 4. Other chemicals like Mencozeb or Difenaconazole can also be used to stop its further infestation. Jazakallah 😊
