Cutworms management in onion
  • Young larvae are yellowish-grey and later become brown. 

  • On touching this insect, it gets coiled.

  • These insects cut small onion plants from the base level at night and hide during the day.

  • Newly developed insects feed on a large number of onion leaves but later separate and enter the soil.

  • To control this, mix and spread over the soil  CARBOFURAN 3 % GR @ 7.5 kg/acre at the time of transplanting.

  • mix and spread over the soil CARTAP HYDROCHLORIDE 4 G@ 7.5 kg/acre at the time of transplanting.

  • CHLORPYRIPHOS 20 % EC@ 1 lit/acre for spray. 

  • As a biological controller, use BEAUVERIA BASSIANA @ 500 gram/acre with every spray.
