Mild to Severe

When trioza urticae infests nettle plants, its feeding activity primarily affects the leaves. By sucking plant fluids, trioza urticae causes the foliage to display visible damage, which may manifest as discoloration, dehydration, and potential leaf deformity. These changes hinder the plant's ability to photosynthesize efficiently, leading to reduced vigor and growth.
