Girdle beetle management in soybean

30/07/2020Posted on
  • This pest causes lots of damage to soybean crops.
  • The female of this insect lays eggs inside the stem and when the girdle beetle emerges from the egg, they 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.
  • Due to this the crop production is affected   

Mechanical Management: –

  • Do deep plowing in an empty field during summer. Do not sow more dense crops.
  • Do not use high nitrogenous fertilizers, if the infection is very high, use appropriate chemicals.

Chemical Management: –

  • LAMBDA CYHALOTHRIN 4.9 % CS @ 200 ml / acre or PROFENOFOS 40 % + CYPERMETHRIN 4% EC @ 400 ml / acre
  • QUINALPHOS 25% EC @ 400 ml / acre or BIFENTHRIN 10 % EC @ 300 ml / acre

Biological Management: –

  • BEAUVERIA BASSIANA @ 500gram / acre

  • The inside of the stem is eaten by the larvae and a tunnel is formed inside the stem.
  • The leaves of the infected portion of the plant are unable to get the nutrients and are dried up.
  • To solve this problem, spray lambda cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml / acre or profenofos 40% EC + spermethrin 4% EC @ 400 ml / acre.
  • Spraying of Quinalphos @ 25% EC @ 400 ml / acre or Biafenthrin  @ 400 ml / acre.
