  • Tomato/Brinjal: Fruit borer, shoot borer

Simple actions:

  • Scout twice a week. Check undersides of leaves and growing tips.
  • 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), especially as monsoon recedes.
  • Avoid water stagnation in nurseries; ensure proper drainage after any late September rains.
  • 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.

Conclusion

  • Raise and transplant nursery crops like tomato, brinjal, cauliflower, and cabbage at the right spacing.
