Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Lesson 4: Earwigs Course on Insect Pests of Groundnut Module V: Root and Pod Feeders About Earwig Their eggs (Fig.) are laid in clusters of , usually in the soil, and sometimes inside damaged pods.

Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Lesson 4: Earwigs Course on Insect Pests of Groundnut Module V: Root and Pod Feeders Crop Damage Both nymphs and adults bore into tender developing pods and feed on the seeds. Infested pods are prone to fungal infection. Pod and seed damage by earwigs

Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Lesson 4: Earwigs Course on Insect Pests of Groundnut Module V: Root and Pod Feeders Management This pest appears around pod formation phase. In areas where this pest is serious, application of soil insecticides such as Carbofuran or Chlorpyriphos at 1 kg a.i./ha could help in reducing the damage to the crop. Irrigating the fields after the application of the above soil insecticides will provide better protection.

With this, the Lesson 4 on Earwigs in groundnut concludes. Next, Lesson 5 is about Wireworms in groundnut crop. Select Lesson 5 in Module V contents Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Insect Pests of Groundnut Module V: Root and Pod Feeders
