- This pest causes lots of damage to soybean crops.
- When the female Girdle beetle lays eggs inside the stem and after the eggs hatches, young beetles feed on the same stem and damage it.
- This makes the stem hollow, causing the nutrients to not reach the leaves, resulting in dried leaves, which affects the crop production.
- Mechanical Management: –
- Do deep plowing in an empty field during summer. Avoid sowing more dense crops.
- Do not use high nitrogenous fertilizers, if the infection is very high, use appropriate chemicals.
