White grubs – Gramophone

White grubs as the name suggests are white-coloured insects that live as a grub in a field whose dormancy period is in the winter.
They initially damage chilli plant roots.
Symptoms of white grub include a complete withering of the plant or stunting of the growth of the plant resulting in the plant dying.
Usually, this pest should be controlled in the month of June and in the early week of July.
For this, do deep ploughing in summer, use Metarhizium culture [kalichakra] @ 2 kg along with FYM @ 50-75 kg per acre for control of white grub.
But if an infestation of white grub is visible even in the immature stage of the crop, then chemical treatment can also be done to control this pest.
