Hi, Kanu Ahir. Welcome to plantix. Your crop is effected by Tobacco CaterpillarFreshly hatched larvae feed gregariously, scraping the chlorophyll, soon dispose. Later stages feed voraciously on the foliage at night, hiding usually in the soil around the base of the plants during the day. Sometimes the feeding is so heavy that only petioles and branches are left behind if proper measures are not taken in time, specially in light soils, caterpillars bores into the pods. For control measures: Visit Plantix library or click on blue link given above to get more knowledge to control caterpillar pest in groundnut. Thank you. Visit again.
