Control of Red Pumpkin Beetle in Bitter Gourd

24/10/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

The grubs feed on the roots and underground portion of host plants and fruits touching the soil.
The damaged roots and infested underground portions of stems start rotting due to secondary infection by saprophytic fungi, and the unripe fruits of such vines dry up.
Beetles eat leaves and make holes. When the beetle attacks in the plant’s initial stage, it damages the soft leaves by eating them due to which the plant dies.
Due to deep plowing, the pupa or grubs present in the ground come up and die in the sun rays.
After germination, soil treatment should be done with Cartap Hydrochloride 4G @ 7.5 kg per acre, around the plant.
Spray Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% EC @ 400 ml / acre or Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9 % CS @ 200 ml / acre.
Spray Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre as a biological treatment or use as a soil treatment.
