Pod borer insects eat soft leaves, fruits, flowers and beans. This insect mainly enters inside the pods when grain formation starts and starts causing harm. Due to the outbreak of this pest, grains are not formed in the beans. In case of heavy infestation, the plants and leaves dry up. The growth of the plants stops. Due to this, there is a heavy loss in yield.
Control: To control this pest, spray Bave curb (Beauveria bassiana 5% WP) 500 gm/acre or Phoskill (Monocrotophos 36% SL) 200 ml/acre mixed in 200 litres of water.
