Hello everyone,

I havr three eggplant shrubs in my vegetable patch. All were doing quite well until recently I noticed the leaves on one were losing their "green", getting white spots, till the entire leaf starts to look pale and white. I cannot see any signs of fungi, either on or underneath the leaves. There is a small army of ants tha I picked but can these cause the leaves to lose their chlorophyll?

Thanks in advance for any pointers that you can give.
