    Fall armyworm and American bollworm larvae can damage cotton fruiting structures like squares and bolls. Pink bollworm larvae burrow into cotton bolls, cutting lint and staining it severely. Brown plant hoppers infest rice at all stages, causing hopper burn by drying plants. Leaf folders and yellow stem borers damage rice leaves and stems. Fruit flies and mango mealy bugs damage and destroy mango crops. Citrus leaf miners tunnel through citrus leaves, distorting them. Aphids and cabbage loopers can significantly damage various vegetable crops like cabbage through leaf feeding and consumption.

    DAMAGE OF INSECT PESTS

    Cotton pests

    • Army worm • American bollworm


    Fall armyworm is a sporadic pest of cotton that Affected squares show “symptoms of flaring up”,
    feeds on leaves and fruiting structures. ... with bracts spreading out. Internal tissues are
    Results indicated that fall armyworm larvae hollowed out by the larval feeding, and holes
    have the potential to damage cotton fruiting can be seen on squares, bolls or locules. In the
    structures at rates comparable to those of absence of the squares or after
    the cotton bollworm and tobacco budworm, total damage of the squares, larvae can
    assuming similar survival rates survive by feeding even on the foliage.
    • Pink bollworm • Spotted bollworm
    Pink bollworms damage squares and bolls, Drying and drooping of terminal shoots during pre
    the damage to bolls being the most serious. flowering stage. Side shoots are given out.
    Larvae burrow into bolls, through the lint, to Shedding of squares, young bolls, flaring up of
    feed on seeds. As the larva burrows within a squares during square formation
    boll, lint is cut and stained, resulting in severe
    quality loss.
    Rice pests

    • Brown plant hopper


    BPH infest the rice crop at all stages of plant growth. ... During the early infestation stage, round
    yellow patches appear, which soon become brownish due to the drying up of the plants. This
    condition is called 'hopper burn'.
    • Leaf folder • Yellow stem borrer
    Leaves folded longitudinally and larvae remain After hatching, early instars bore into the leaf sheath
    inside. Larvae scrape the green tissues of and causing longitudinal yellowish-white
    the leaves and become white and dry. During patches as a result of feeding. Then it invades
    severe infestation the whole field exhibits the stem of the rice plant and stays in the pith

    Fruit pests

    • Fruit fly
    Fruit flies create damage to the fruit by causing rots and discolouration. Eggs are laid close to the surface inside
    the fruit with small discoloured patches developing as a result of the stings.
    • Citrus leaf miner
    • Mango mealy bug This insect is a tiny moth that lays an egg under
    Heavy infestation can cause defoliation and even the leaf from which a larvae hatches that
    death of the plant. They infest the plant burrows into the leaf. The larvae then tunnels
    during flowering season and if the control around in a serpentine pattern between the
    measures are not taken timely, the crop may leaf surfaces (hence its name “leaf miner”)
    be destroyed completely. Excessive and leaving a whitish, silvery winding pathway
    continuous draining of plant sap causes through the leaf. Damage from this pest
    wilting and finally drying of infested tissue. causes citrus foliage to cup and twist, creating
    a malformed leaf.
    Vegetable pests

    • Aphid
    A Aphids weaken and stunt plants by sucking plant sap. They excrete a sugary substance called
    honeydew, which sticks to leaves that then become colonised by sooty moulds. They also spread virus
    diseases.
    • Cabbage looper
    Cabbage loopers can cause significant crop damage if left unchecked. They can damage the heads
    of cabbage and cause destruction of other crops such as spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, cotton
    and soybeans, to name a few.
