- In soybean crops, there is a huge infestation of leaf-eating caterpillars that harm the crops’ leaves.
- These caterpillars greatly affect the soybean crops
- New hatched larvae tend to attack the leaves in herds.
- They scrap the green part off the leaves and then spread on the entire plant.
- The leaves of the entire plant are damaged because of the infestation only veins are left of the leaves eaten by the caterpillars.
- It is very important to control these caterpillars on time.
- To control them, do deep plowing in the empty field during summer time as biological treatment.
- Sow at the appropriate time at the beginning of monsoon.
