Cultural management

Select healthy tubers
Avoid shallow planting of tubers, plant the tubers at a depth at 10 - 15 cm
Install pheromone traps at 15/ha.
Collect and destroy all the infested tubers from the field
Do not leave the harvested tubers in the field overnight
Adopt intercropping with chilies, onion or peas
Do earthing up at 60 days after planting to avoid female moths laying eggs on the exposed tubers
In store: Storing the tubers under 3 cm thick layer of sand
Cover the upper surface of potato tubers with the branches of Lantana and Eupatorium to repel the ovipositing moth in the godown
Release egg larval parasitoid: Chelonus blackburnii @ 30,000/ha twice at 40 and 70 days after planting
Spray NSKE @ 5% and spray Bacillus thuringiensis @1 kg/ha at 10 days interval
