Management

• Collection and destruction of infested leaf twigs along with larvae.
• Maintain sanitation in orchard to avoid the spread of incidence.
• Install light trap to monitor the pest activity in orchard.
• Alternate application of profenophos 50 EC @ 1 ml or lambda-cyhalothrin 5 EC @ 1 ml or ready mix profenophos + cypermethrin @ 1 ml or chlorpyriphos + cypermethrin @ 1 ml/lit of water at 15 days interval on initiation of incidence on new foliage.
• Conservation of braconids parasitoid like Apanteles taragamae and Eurytoma sp. for parasitization of early stages of pest.
