Major insect/pest and Management     :

Insect pests:
Cut worm, ear worm, stem borer

Management:

For cut worm

* The larvae can be killed after collecting from soil near the cut plants in morning.
* Dursban or Pyrifos 20 EC 5 ml/liter water should be sprayed especially at the base of plants to control cutworms.

For ear worm

* The larvae could be killed after collecting from the infested cobs.
* Cypermethrin (Ricord 10 EC/Cymbush 10 EC/Fenom 10 EC) @ 2 ml/litre water could be sprayed to a control this pest.

For Stem borer

* Marshall 20 EC or Diazinon 60 EC @ 2ml/litre water could be sprayed properly to control the pest.
* Furadan 5G or Carbofuran 5G @ 20kg/ha should be applied on top of the plants in such a way so that the granules stay between the stem and leaf base. Such type of application of insecticides is known as whorl application
