Brinjal Pest management : : Shoot borer
Shoot
borer: The
larva bores inside the terminal shoots, resulting in the withering
of the shoots. It also bores into the young fruit and feeds inside
which makes the fruit unmarketable
Rotation of crops and the prompt destruction of damaged shoots on a
community-wide basis are recommended as part of an overall IPM
strategy.
