Papaya having some problem
Hi. This is 1.5 years old Seedless Papaya Tree planted in Ludhiana Punjab. Please help me to identify the problem and treat it. It was so beautiful and full of very large lush green leaves but, since last month its leaves are changing color and finally they shed off. Its canopy has reduced a lot due to loss of leaves. A month ago I noticed something like worms on its going to ripe fruits which were fixed as they were fixed with fevicol ! But they were not worms I think and now it is alright without any medication. Please guide.

This is Scale insect, Aonideilla inornata. Look at the trunk also. Malathion or Neonics can solve the problem.

Thanks Vipul Bhai. Yes it looks like Ring Spot Virus. 1. My plant's affected leaves are getting a bit curly. 2. There are no mosaic dark green patern on unripe fruits as shown in library picture. 3. Water soak spots on stem - I could not identify/understand that. please guide further.
