The chili pepper borer, also known as the tobacco budworm or tobacco leaf moth, is one of the most destructive pests affecting pepper crops. The larvae, particularly the second and third instars, bore into the fruit, causing significant damage. This leads to a high rate of flower and fruit drop, which can severely impact yield and quality.
To manage this pest effectively, farmers employ a combination of cultural and chemical control methods. In addition to winter plowing and crop rotation to disrupt the life cycle and reduce pest populations, chemical control remains a primary strategy today. The key is to follow a well-timed approach: focus on the first and second generations during their peak activity, prevent the third generation from developing, and monitor and treat the fourth generation when necessary.
For chemical treatments, it's important to use efficient, low-toxicity, and environmentally friendly pesticides. Options include pyrethroid-based sprays such as Chrysanthemum, which can be diluted at 5000–6000 times and applied directly to infested areas. Another effective choice is the microbial pesticide "HD-1," which is diluted at 1000 times and contains Bacillus species with 100 million spores per milliliter. These treatments have shown control efficacy of over 90%, making them highly recommended for integrated pest management programs.
Farmers are encouraged to monitor fields regularly and apply these measures at the right time to maximize effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact.
