How to control the bean pod borer? Please explain
The bean pod borer, also called the cowpea pod borer, is one of the main pests of beans. The adult cowpea pod borer is scattered and hidden, lays eggs over a wide area and in large numbers, and is not easy to kill by spraying or trap. Control methods:
First, before sowing, the soil must be treated to kill insects, and the pesticide should be mixed with New High-Fat Film to enhance its efficacy.
Second, strengthen fertilizer and water management. Achieve uniform emergence, neat growth, and a relatively concentrated flowering and pod-setting period, so that this pest can be eliminated in a concentrated way during the key period.
Third, focus on pesticide control. Before the flowering period, spray to kill the larvae in the flower buds. After the flowers fade and the pods grow to more than 10 cm long, spray once to kill the newly hatched larvae and the young larvae that have bored into the young pods. For the pesticide, choose Kung Fu 1500x solution (or abamectin 1500x spray, or 4.5% Arruibao emulsifiable concentrate 1000--2000x solution) + New High-Fat Film 800x solution for better results.
