  • Warm and humid weather is favorable for the white grub.
  • The insect stays in the soil and feeds on the plant roots.
  • The larva remains inside the soil and bores into the stem while entering the plant.
  • Pest-infested plants turn yellow and the branches begin to droop.
  • The plants start drying up and eventually fall to the ground.
  • You can use well-decomposed farmyard manure.
  • Deep plough the field, as this brings the grubs to the surface and destroys them.
  • If beetles are seen in the field after rainfall, take immediate control measures.
