Pest Identification:
-
The tiny maggot insects are very small, legless, and yellow in colour and adult insects are light yellow in colour.
Symptoms of Damage:
-
Symptoms of its damage first appear on the leaves. The female moth lays eggs in the cells inside the leaves, from which the larvae hatch and make tunnels by feeding on the green matter inside the leaves. Due to this white spiral stripes appear on the leaves.
-
The affected plant bears less fruit and leaves fall prematurely. Plant growth stops and plants remain small.
-
Due to the attack of this insect, the photosynthesis of plants is also affected.
Control:
-
To control this pest, spray Abacin (Abamectin 1.9% EC) @ 150 ml or Benavia (Cyantraniliprol 10.26% OD) @ 250 ml + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml per acre @ 150 to 200 liters of water.
As a biological treatment, spray Bave Curb (Beauveria bassiana 5% W.P.) @ 500 gm/acre.
