Simple actions:

• Remove and destroy infested fruits/leaves.
  
• Use pheromone traps for fruit/borer insects and keep fields clean of weeds.
  
• Follow label-recommended sprays only when needed; rotate sprays to avoid resistance.
  
  

Irrigation

• Give light irrigation every 7–10 days (soil-moisture based), adjusting for any residual monsoon showers.
  
• Avoid water stagnation in nurseries; ensure proper drainage, especially after rain.
  
• Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds.
  
• Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for gourds and tomato where possible, conserving water as monsoon recedes.
