Chickpea Pod Borer Threat: Act Now to Save Your Crop from Devastation!

• February is crucial for chickpea production; pod borer insects damage grains, causing significant yield loss.
• Regular field monitoring in morning/evening is essential to detect small holes or green insects in pods.
• Pheromone traps help timely detection of pest activity, enabling farmers to choose correct pesticides.
• Balanced nutrition, light irrigation, and micronutrient sprays are vital for strong grain development and pest resistance.
• For severe infestation, use imidacloprid (1ml/liter, two sprays 20 days apart) after organic treatments for 90% control.
