Management of fruit borer in chili

  • A circular hole is found on the chilli fruit due to which fruits and flowers fall before maturing.
  • This caterpillar feeds on the newly developed fruit of the chilli crop. When the fruit is ripe, the caterpillar eats the seeds. During this time, the caterpillar consumes the seeds by placing its head inside the fruit while the rest of the caterpillar ‘s body remains outside the fruit.
  • EMAMECTIN BENZOATE 5% SG@ 100 gram /acre or FLUBENDIAMIDE 20% WG @ 100 Gram/acre or CHLORANTRANILIPROLE 18.5 % SC @ 60 ml/acre 
  • As a biological treatment use BEAUVERIA BASSIANA @ 250 Gram/acre.
