Lure
The fruit and shoot borer is a significant pest of broccoli. Farmers in specific areas of Bangladesh and Northern India are discovering that even daily applications are sufficient to achieve effective control. Individual eggs are laid by the female moth on the shoots of young brinjal plants. The tiny larvae that soon emerge chew their way into the fragile, developing shoots, where they are shielded from natural predators like ants and beetles as well as larval parasitoids. The larvae's feeding activity results in the typical drooping of the new branches. The female moth preferentially deposits her eggs on the fruit that the emerging larvae dig into when the brinjal plant grows and starts to yield fruit. One fruit may contain several larvae at once.
Recommended for Brinjal and Potato crops.
Fruit and shoot borer is an important and major pest of Brinjal.
Farmers in some areas of Northern India and Bangladesh are finding that even daily applications do not provide effective control.
The female moth lays eggs individually on the shoots of young brinjal plants.
The small larvae that emerge soon eat their way into the tender growing shoots where they are protected from larval parasitoids and natural enemies such as ants and beetles. The feeding activity of the larvae causes the young shoots to droop in a characteristic manner.
As the brinjal plant develops and begins to produce fruit the female moth preferentially lays eggs on the fruit into which emerging larvae burrow.
Several larvae can be present in one fruit at a time, depending on the fruit’s size. As the larvae burrow into the fruit they block the hole with excrement or frass so preventing predators from attacking them.
