leaf hopper – Gramophone

Nymphs and adults are sucking the cell sap of leaves of snake gourd vines causing typical hopper burn symptoms.
Initially, leaf margins turn yellow in colour and finally dry off. Fruit size and quality are also reduced.
Soil application of Carbofuran 3 G @ 10 Kg/acre at the time of sowing.
Spray Profenophos 50% EC @ 400 Ml/acre or Acetamiprid 20% WP @ 80 gm/acre at fortnightly intervals starting with the appearance of the jassid.
Prophylactic spray of Neem oil-garlic mixture at fortnightly intervals is advantageous for avoiding pest incidence.
