Termite identification, damage symptoms and management in wheat

  • The wheat crop can be damaged by termites either after sowing or sometimes at the stage of maturity.

  • Termites often cause damage to crop roots, stems of growing plants, and dead plant tissues.

  • Damaged plants withers completely and are easily uprooted from the ground.

  • If well-decomposed manure is not used, the soil is more susceptible to termite attacks. 

  • Deep plough the field before sowing.

  • Use only well-decomposed manure 

  • Must treat soil with insecticide Metarhizium Anisopliae

  • Raw dung manure should not be used because raw dung is the staple food of this insect.

  • Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that all other insects along with the termite queen die.

  • Do seed treatment with Chlorpyriphos (20% EC) @ 5 ml / kg seed before sowing.

  • To control termites, use Chlorpyriphos 20% EC @ 1 litre mixed with any fertilizer and broadcast in soil and irrigate it.

How to manage thrips in onion crop

  • Thrips are small and soft-bodied insects and can be found on the upper surface of leaves but usually on the lower surface of leaves. 

  • With their sharp mouthparts, they suck the sap of the leaves, which causes the leaves to turn brown on the edges. 

  • The affected plant appears dry and the leaf becomes discoloured and curls upwards. This insect is the cause of Jalebi disease in onion crops.

  • For the control of thrips it is necessary to use different chemicals for every spray.

  • Management: – For the prevention of thrips Fipronil 5% SC @ 400 ml / acre or Lambda Cyhalothrin  4.9% CS @ 200 ml / acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 40 gram / acre or Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml / acre.
