Maybe it's lacking calcium. Try adding bonemeal.

The white spots are eggs of aphids

If you rub them off with finger they will go away...

If you allow them to stay they will hatch and produce aphids which will damage crop....


Hope it solves the query

@siddartha. If you double click the picture it will enlarge. Then you can see clearly that mc is not talking about aphid eggs. These are large pale areas of the leaves. They look more like sunburned spots. Sometimes if water is standing on the leaves and then direct sun hits it, it will burn like that. But it could be other things as well.
