The ovipositional preference of eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB), Leucinodes orbonalis Guenne was determined for seven crops, namely, eggplant (Solanum melongena), white potato (Solanum tuberosum), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), pole sitao (Vigna sinensis) and black nightshade (Solanum bignum). A major pest of eggplant is the fruit and shoot borer, a caterpillar that lives inside the stems (causing wilted shoots) or in the fruits. Chemical control of shoot and fruit borer in brinjal.4. The pupal period is 7-8 days. Prabhat Kumar, Johnsen S, 2000. It can be grown in temperate areas during the warmer part of the year. Brinjal pest management. 1. Egg : Female moth lays about 250 eggs singly on tender shoots and developing fruits of brinjal. J. on eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) in Rajasthan. Brinjal or eggplant (Sulanum melongena L.) is one of the most important vegetable crops of Raichur district of Karnataka.This crop is vulnerable to the attack of many insect pests.Among which shoot and fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee, is the most destructive pest. Larva : Larva about 18-22 mm long and The caterpillar is pink in colour. Seasonal incidence of shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guen.) Eggplant requires a tropical or subtropical climate. The borer maintains its breeding activities on the brinjal plants during crop season (September to March) and on weeds (Solanum nigrum and S. xanthocarpum) during off season (April to August).). Rabindra Prasad, 2001. Diseases Journal of Applied Biology, 10(2):178-184. Journal of Applied Biology, 10(2):178-184. Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB) (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee) is a major insect pest of brinjal in Asia, which causes serious damage especially during the fruiting stage. Direct Link | 13: Kumar, P. and S. Johnsen, 2000. Duration : Insect pests. Life cycle The four development stages viz., egg, larva, pupa, adult are found its life cycle. 10. Life cycle studies on fruit and shoot borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) and natural enemies of insect-pests of eggplant (Solanum melongena). Fruit and shoot borer (SFB) larvae bore into tender shoots and fruits, But if we understand the nature and behavior of each life stage of the cycle, it is easy to replace poisonous chemicals with knowledge, local resources and skills. It cannot tolerate frost. Prabhat Kumar, Johnsen S, 2000. Abstract. Life cycle studies on fruit and shoot borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) and natural enemies of insect-pests of eggplant (Solanum melongena). During recent years the brinjal fruit borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenée, has become a limiting factor in brinjal cultivation in many parts of India. Control of major pest of brinjal.2. Pupa : Greyish boat shaped cocoon. 3. Keywords: eggplant, eggplant fruit and shoot borer, biology, IPM management of the L. orbonalis with consideration of Introduction supporting literature helpful for management. The fruit and shoot borer (L. orbonalis) was reared during the early spring of 1996 on natural diet in a laboratory to ascertain details of their life cycle and habit. Radhika S, Reddy KD, Subbarathnam GV, 1997. Annals Biol., 18: 165-169. At the same time, pesticide-free crops of eggplant [aubergine] were raised in the field [location not given] to identify the natural enemies present in eggplant ecosystem.
