B.
Leaf curl
C.
Jassids
D.
All of these
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
In cotton, an example of durable resistance includes resistance to Bacterial blight, leaf curl and jassids.
Bacterial blight is a widespread soybean disease that is most common during cool, wet weather. This disease usually occurs at low levels that don't result in yield loss.
Curling leaves can be caused by many problems, including insect damage, disease, abiotic disorders, or even herbicides. Several insect pests cause leaves to curl when they suck plant juices of new or young leaves that are still growing.
Cotton jassids are sap-sucking pests of cotton and several other host plants.
