How to control girdle beetle infestation in soybean crop

  • Girdle Beetle insect causes maximum damage to the soybean crop. The female of this insect forms two rings on tender stems, branches or leaf stalks and makes 3 holes in the lower ring and lays eggs through the middle hole. Small caterpillars emerge from its eggs, after which it hollows the stem by eating it inside.

  • As a result, the stem becomes weak, water and minerals absorbed by the roots cannot reach the leaves, and the entire plant withers and dries up. Due to this, there is a significant reduction in the production of the crop.

  • Chemical Management :- Spray Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9% EC @ 200 ml/acre OR Beta Cyfluthrin 8.49%+ Imidacloprid19.81 OD% @ 150 ml/acre OR Profenophos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC @ 400 ml/acre OR Thiamethoxam 12.6%+ Lambda Cyhalothrin Spray 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 40 gm/acre.
