Conogethes sahyadriensis (Shashank PR, Kammar V, Mally R, Chakravarthy
AK, Zootaxa 4374(2):215–234, 2018) is a serious insect pest of zingiberaceous
spice crops such as cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton), ginger (Zingiber
officinale Rosc.) and turmeric (Curcuma longa L.). On ginger and cardamom the
borer incurs up to 25% and 80% yield losses, respectively. On cardamom the
economic threshold level is fixed at 10% shoot infestation. The fecundity of
female moths and the duration for completing the generations varied with the
season, the spice crop and the habitat. C. sahyadriensis infesting spice crops in
South India has alternate wild Zingiberaceae plants, viz. species of Alpinia,
Amomum, Hedychium, Curcuma, Aframomum, etc. Over a dozen, promising
parasitoids and predators have been recorded on Conogethes larvae and pupae.
Therefore, need-based applications of selective insecticides are warranted. Use
of semiochemicals for borer management should be rendered practicable.
