Hello, there can be many reasons for yellowing and wilting of leaves in papaya tree. These reasons can be environmental, nutritional or disease related. Let us understand these reasons in detail:

Lack of water causes the leaves to turn yellow and wilt. Regular watering is a must, especially in summers.

Too much water can also cause the roots to rot and the leaves to turn yellow.
Extreme heat or cold can also affect the leaves.
Leaves turn yellow due to not getting enough sunlight.

Nitrogen deficiency: Nitrogen deficiency causes the leaves to turn yellow and the veins remain green.
Potassium deficiency: Potassium deficiency causes the edges of the leaves to burn and turn yellow.
Other nutrient deficiencies: Deficiency of magnesium, iron etc. can also cause leaves to turn yellow.
Some viruses infect papaya plants causing the leaves to turn yellow and form a mosaic pattern.
Fungus: Some fungi can infect the leaves causing spots and drying of the leaves.
 Insects: Some insects suck the juice of the leaves which causes the leaves to turn yellow.

For controlling this, you can use Chlorothalonil 75% WP at 300 grams per acre along with Imidacloprid 17.8% SL at 100 ml per acre, and spray a solution of N.P.K (19.19.19.) 1 kg in 150-200 liters of water.
