Symptom of damage

• Nymphs and adults suck the sap from leaves.

Management

• Systemic insecticides like methomyl 1.8 L or dimethoate 30 EC ( reduced eggs, nymphs, pupae and adults.)
• Malathion 50 EC is effective against adults and pupae.
• Bifenthrin 10 WP was effective only against adults.
• Methomyl 1.8 L and acephate 75 SP reduced the number of nymphs and pupae
• Field release of parasitic wasp - Encarsia formosa 3/m2 can be followed
