‪@CyberAgriExtension‬
Sesame crops are vulnerable to various pests and diseases that can significantly impact yield and quality. A combined attack of mirid bugs, whiteflies, and sesame phyllody can be particularly devastating. Effective management strategies are essential to control these pests and minimize their impact.

Identification and Symptoms:
Mirid Bug (Creontiades biseratense):
Identification:
Small, slender, green to brown bugs.
Nymphs and adults feed on plant sap.
Symptoms:
Yellowing and wilting of leaves.
Deformed pods and reduced seed quality.
Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci):
Identification:
Small, white, winged insects.
Nymphs and adults feed on the underside of leaves.
Symptoms:
Yellowing and curling of leaves.
Sooty mold growth due to honeydew secretion.
Sesame Phyllody:
Identification:
Caused by phytoplasmas transmitted by insect vectors (mirid bugs and leafhoppers).
Symptoms:
Flowers turn into leaf-like structures.
Stunted growth and sterility.
Yellowing and witches' broom appearance.
Integrated Pest and Disease Management:
Chemical Control:
Insecticides for Mirid Bug and Whitefly:
For Both:
Flonicamid 50 DF
Dosage: 80 g/acre
Application: Spray when insects are observed, ensuring thorough coverage.
Clothianidin:
Dosage: 200 g/Acre
Application: Apply as a foliar spray at early infestation stages.
Imidacloprid:
Dosage: 250 ml /100 L of water
Application: Spray on foliage when insects are present, ensuring complete coverage.
Phyllody Management:

Since phyllody is spread by insect vectors, controlling mirid bugs and leafhoppers is crucial.
Use insecticides like Thiamethoxam or Acetamiprid to target these vectors.
Cultural Practices:
Field Hygiene:

Remove and destroy infected plants to reduce disease spread.
Clean field margins and remove weeds that can harbor pests.
Crop Rotation:

Rotate sesame with non-host crops to break the pest and disease cycle.
Resistant Varieties:

Use resistant or tolerant sesame varieties, if available.
Biological Control:
Natural Predators:

Encourage beneficial insects such as lady beetles, spiders, and parasitic wasps that prey on mirid bugs and whiteflies.
Reduce broad-spectrum insecticide use to protect natural predators.
Biopesticides:

Use neem oil or other botanical insecticides as an alternative to chemical control.
Best Practices for Application:
Monitoring:

Regularly scout fields for early detection of pests and symptoms of phyllody.
Use yellow sticky traps to monitor whitefly populations.
Application Timing:

Apply insecticides at the early stages of pest infestation for maximum effectiveness.
Follow label instructions for dosages and application methods.
Resistance Management:

Rotate insecticides with different modes of action to prevent resistance development.
Avoid repeated use of the same insecticide.
Summary:
Managing a combined attack of mirid bugs, whiteflies, and sesame phyllody in sesame requires an integrated approach. Chemical controls, cultural practices, and biological methods should be employed together to effectively manage these pests and minimize damage. Regular monitoring and timely interventions are key to protecting sesame crops and ensuring healthy yields.
