stem borer pests – Gramophone

Stem borer: The larval stage of this insect is harmful. First, after hatching, the larvae enter the stem by piercing the leaves of the central buds and destroying the central part. which is known as the ‘dead heart’. When the outbreak occurs in the panicle stage, the earhead becomes white by drying. By pulling the central part, it comes off easily.
