PEST / BACTERIAL / FUNGAL IDENTIFICATION IN CROP SYMPTOMS SUGGESTED PRODUCT Stem fly The maggots bore into the stem thereby causing withering and ultimate drying of the affected shoots, thus reducing the bearing capacity of the host plants.The adults also cause damage by puncturing the leaves, and the injured parts turn yellow. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Pod borer At early stage they feed on the foliage and sometime cause serious defoliation.During reproductive stage they bore the developing pod and feed on the seeds with its head typically thrust inside and most of the part of the body outside. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Pea Weevil The larvae burrow straight through the pods to feed on the seed, so are not readily found for identification until seed is mature (above) and it is too late for control. Traps+Meta + BT Pea aphid Curling and distortion of leaves, stunting and malformation shoots occur.Leaves turn pale and dry. Honeydew secretion of aphids leads to sooty mould which hinders the photosynthetic activity of the plants. Lifeline+Traps + Meta Leaf miner The large number of tunnels made by the larvae between the lower and upper epidermis interferes with photosynthesis and proper growth of the plants, making them look unattractive. Leaves with serpentine mines Drying dropping of leaves in severe cases. Lifeline+Traps + Meta Pea pod borer Dropping of flowers and young pods.As the larva develops within the pod, faeces accumulate causing soft, rotten patches on the pod.Seeds are either partially or entirely eaten, and considerable frass and silk are present. Traps + Meta + BT Downy mildew A grayish white, moldy growth appears on the lower leaf surface, and a yellowish area appears on the opposite side of the leaf.Infected leaves can turn yellow and die if weather is cool and damp.Stems may be distorted and stunted. Brown blotches appear on pods, and mold may grow inside pods. INDOFA Powdery mildew it attacks leaves first, producing faint, slightly discolored specks from which grayish white powdery growth of mycelium develop.Powdery growth spread over leaf, stem and pod.The leaves turn yellow and die.The fruits do not set or remain very small.It causes defoliation.Later stages, powdery growth also covers the pods. INDOFA Pea rust Leaves of infected plants exhibit many small, orange-brown pustules usually at the lower surface.Severely infected leaves wither and may drop from the plant. INDOFA + Bacillus Ascochyta blight Symptoms first appear as small, purplish-brown and irregular flecks. Under continued humid conditions, the flecks enlarge and coalesce, resulting the lower leaves becoming completely blighted. INDOFA + Bacillus White rot The maximum infection develops at the flowering stage of the crop, when petals fall on ground and these catch infection immediately and mycelial growth of fungus invades the stem and branche.
