Ans: Spotted wilting is another one of the different types of wilting issues that plants have to go through. Unlike the other types of wilting, this scenario is caused by the presence of a virus that gets very easily transmitted with the help of some sort of a larva that comes along an insect species known as thrips. The plants that are affected with spotted wilt will have rings and spots forming in the leaves that could be purplish, red, yellow, and brown. Not to mention that the stems are all bunchy and stunted in the plant affected by this disease.
