Crop Name: Mustard

Disease Name : Saw Fly



  • In mustard, pest management should be done at the seedling stage.
  • Pest incidence occurs during October–November.
  • In severe cases, if seedlings are destroyed, the crop may need to be sown again.
  • In the early stage of the crop, the pest attacks the leaves.
  • The fly creates multiple holes in the leaves, which hampers photosynthesis.
  • Deep plowing should be done during the summer season.
  • Sowing should be done on time. Larvae should be collected and destroyed.
