infestation is often seen on leaves and also on young
fruits causing characteristic scab on fruits
-
Control:
-
Spraying dimethoate 2ml/litre or fipronil 1 ml/litre
or imidacloprid 0.3ml/litre or thiamethoxam
0.3g/litre prior to flowering is important.
- If serious, a spray of
acephate 1.5 g/litre should be repeated after fruit
set. The subsequent sprays for borer limit thrips
build-up.
- Keeping the basins clean
also reduces damage due to thrips.

depend on the pest severity.
