Mango Shoot Webber: Orthaga Exvinacea

This document summarizes information about the mango shoot webber (Orthaga exvinacea). It describes the mango shoot webber's life cycle, which involves the female laying eggs on mango leaves that hatch within a week, then passing through 5 larval instars while feeding on and webbing leaves. It also causes damage by webbing leaves and shoots together and feeding on the leaf lamina. Management involves pruning and burning infested shoots and webs, and applying lambda-cyhalothrin or quinolphos insecticides if needed.

Life cycle
• The female Leaf Webber moth lays eggs on mango leaves, which hatch in
a week’s time.
• First instar larvae feed on leaves by scrapping the epidermal surface and
from second instars onwards larvae start webbing the leaves and feed on
entire leaves leaving behind the midrib and veins.
• There are five larval instars and larval period vary between 15 to 30 days .
• After last instar the larva pupates in webs, as well as it also fall to the
ground with jerk of its own and pupates in soil.
• The pupal period varies from 5-15 days, depending upon temperature.
• Densely planted orchards have higher infestation rates than the normal
spaced orchards.
larva pupa and adult
Damage Symptoms
• The larvae web the leaves and terminal shoots into
clusters. A webbed cluster of leaves may have several
larvae in the initial stage. The larvae are initially
gregarious and feed by scraping the leaf surface.
• Late-instar larvae feed individually on the whole leaf
lamina leaving only the midrib. As a consequence of
severe feeding, clusters of webbed leaves become
dry and brown in colour.
• With severe infestation, the shoots become dry and
photosynthesis is severely hampered. Trees which
bear clusters of affected leaves present a sickly
appearance .
Management
• Pruning of infested shoots and burning them.

• Removal of leaf webs by leaf web removing device developed


by CISH, Lucknow and burning them.

• Spray of lambdacyhalothrin 5 EC (2 ml / lit of water) manages


the pest.

• If the infestation persists, second spray after 15-20 days of first


spray either with of lambdacyhalothrin 5 EC (2 ml / lit of water) or
quinolphos 25 EC (1.5 ml / lit of water) needs to be carried out
