In this pest, both nymphs and adults suck the sap from the lower surface of young leaves and growing tips of plants. Due to this the leaves curl down and shrink which takes the shape of an inverted boat. The fruits of the infected plant remain small.
Control: As soon as an infestation is seen spray, Omite (Propargite 57 % EC) @ 600 ml/acre or Pager (Diafenthiuron 50 % WP) @ 240 gm/acre or Emanova (Emamectin benzoate 05 % SG) @ 80 gm/acre in 150 -200 litres of water.
