Symptoms

Tiny caterpillar makes holes on the flower bud, feeds on the inner content of the bud. It makes a circular hole on the corolla tube emerges and tunnels to move into other buds of the same shoot. Infested flowers turn violet in colour, and fall off.
In case of severe infestation, adjacent flower buds are webbed together by means of silken thread. The bud worm is a greenish larva with a black head. (C.0: Hendecasis duplifascialis).
