Banana Cultivation: This insect consumes the banana crop in minutes, follow these measures to save it
Banana Cultivation: Farmers in the Rajnandgaon area are concerned about a bug infestation in their banana harvests. The Agriculture Department has recommended pest control methods. Bananas have been grown by farmers in different parts of the district, and they are making excellent money and becoming self-sufficient. However, bugs are causing harm to the crop.
A bug known as the Razo Weevil is very detrimental to banana trees, according to Dr. Birendra Anant, Assistant Director of the Agriculture Department in Rajnandgaon. This bug attacks the roots and lives in the soil, which causes the plant to wither and cease growing. To detect and manage this pest, ongoing examination is required starting in the nursery stage.
Banana plant damage
By opening it, creating a tunnel, and puncturing it, it penetrates the root section of the banana plant and consumes its share. As a result, the banana plant sustains harm, stops growing, and eventually withers. He adds that throughout its early nursery period, it should be regularly examined. This calls for the application of a powerful pesticide. There is a medication called chlorpyrifos that may be used to suppress the Rhizo Weevil pest.
Pesticide spraying
The Agriculture Department has recommended using a pesticide called chlorpyrifos to manage pests. This medication may be sprayed to suppress the Rhizo Weevil pest. In addition, growers may alleviate their losses and safeguard the banana crop from pests by using additional insecticides.
