Types of damage to plants by different insect pests
![Page 3: Copy of types of damages](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558c7aed8b42a235c8b48bf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Insects inflict injury to plants either directly or indirectly in their attempts to secure food and almost all portions viz., roots, stem,
bark, shoots, leaves, buds, flowers, and fruits of plants are attacked and damaged by insects
A Knowledge of the feeding habits of insects, Which fall in to two main groups
1. Chewing insects Theses insects cause direct effects and indirect effects2. Sucking insects
![Page 4: Copy of types of damages](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558c7aed8b42a235c8b48bf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A. Direct effects of feedingI. Injury by chewing insects
Insects which chew off external plants parts , grind them up and shallow them and they possess biting type of mouth parts and cause damage as detailed below :
1. Feed on the growing points of plants causes retard growth Eg : Grape vine beetle – Scelodonta strigicollis
![Page 5: Copy of types of damages](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558c7aed8b42a235c8b48bf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. Feed on the leaves and defoliate the plants causing reduction in assimilative leaf area and thus hinder growthEg : 1.Semilooper caterpillar, Achaea janata on castor

II. Injury by piercing and sucking insects These insects remain out side and with their mouth parts pierce through the epidermis and suck the sap
The following symptoms or kinds of damage are caused by sucking insects by mode of feeding
Many of the sucking insects, at the time of feeding inject their salivary secretion which due to presence of toxins damage the plant tissues further.
1. Most of the sucking insects attack the leaves of plants A general chlorosis is caused by aphids and many of them cause ultimate withering and drying of the affected portions

1. It may be continuation of a field attack
In storageHatching larvae bores into the tubers make tunnels in the tubers and infested tubers may be completely riddled by silk lined burrows, filled with larval larval excrement
Field conditionLarvae mine in to the petiole as a result drooping symptoms and finally produces blotches on the leaves
Eg : Potato tuber moth Phthorimoea operculella
![Page 58: Copy of types of damages](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558c7aed8b42a235c8b48bf/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

The grubs bores in to stems of vines cause tunneling inside and feed on soft tissues
Grubs and adults bores into the tubers both in filed and storage gowdowns and affected tubers develop dark patches , which later start rotting
![Page 59: Copy of types of damages](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558c7aed8b42a235c8b48bf/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
