Tea mosquito bugs (TMB) (Helopeltis spp.) (Miridae: Hemiptera) are serious pests of cashew during cropping season in India. Adults and nymphal stages of this mirid bug cause damage by sucking the plant sap from tender parts of the cashew. Pest damage begins during flushing stage of cashew and continues during flowering and fruiting. As such TMB is a low-density pest but causes reduction in nut yields ranging between 20 and 80 percent. Natural enemies, while playing an important role in controlling TMB in field, cannot maintain TMB population below economic thresholds. Proper pest surveillance and timely initiation of management measures are suggested for management of TMB. Not Available |
