Leaves turn silvery as in the photo

The brinjal plant have stunted growth with leaves turning silvery with spots all over, growth is severely hampered, it is now three months the plants are very small with withering of flowers. What could be the infestation, is it powdery mildew, then most effective chemical remedy please.

Sunil Sharma Majoko , Thanks, what could be the reason for thripse could be the goat manure which I am using ?? Or it is in the soil, before this never had thripse infestation.

Ram Sridharan Jii No goat manure is not the reason. They develop and inhabit in the plant parts only.

Hii Ram Sridharan No goat manure is not the reason. Generally Thrips inhabit and develop in the plant parts only.

Hi Ram Sridharan it may due to Thrips and serpentine leaf miner both are polyphagous insect(which attack several crops and they are sap sucking insect). For better control apply dimethoate1ml/l for serpentine and Fivpronil1.5ml/1 for thrips and for thrips place blue sticky traps
