- The presence of a bore-hole on the pseudostem through which frass is extruded and the withered and yellow central shoot
Identification of pest :
- Egg: is pink, oval, flat and lays singly or in group on the tender part of the plant
- Larva: is long, pale greenish with a pinkish was dorsally, head and pro-thoracic shield brown in colour and body covered with minute hairs arising on wards.

Apply well rotten sheep manure @ 10 t/ ha in two splits or poultry manure in 2 splits followed by drenching dimethoate 30 EC @ 2 ml or phosalone 35 EC @ 2ml /lit of water |
Leaf roller: Udaspes folus
Symptoms of damage: Leaves become folded or rolled longitudinally Complete defoliation Identification of pest: Larva: is smooth green with black head Adult It is brownish black butterfly Forewing: has a white spots Hind wing: has a large white patch Management: A spray with carbaryl (0.1%) or dimethoate (0.05%) may be undertaken when the severe infestation Spray the following dissolved in 1 lit of water, Bavisitin 2g +Mancozeb 2g + Teefol 1 ml thrips: Panchaetothrips indicus Symptoms of damage: Leaves become rolled up Turn pale and gradually dry-up Identification of pest: Adult is with fringed wings Management: Spray insecticides like quinalphos 0.025% or phosalone 0.07% Imidaclopride 17.4%sl Fipronil 5% sc Tracer for better result. |
