Abstract
Bael is known to be attacked mainly by lemon butter fly Papilio demoleus and the fruit fly Bactrocera zonata. Insect pests of phalsa include Diaphorina citri, Aphis craccivora, pink mealybug Maconellicoccus hirsutus, mealybug alike, Drosicha mangiferae, hairy caterpillar Euproctis fraterna, and falsa caterpillar Giaura sceptica. The other insects recorded on phalsa are the leaf eating beetles Anomala bengalensis, Apogonia uniformis, Holotrichia consanguinea, H. insularis, and Schizonycha sp., almond beetle Mimestra cyanura, and falsa beetle Oxycetonia versicolor and O. albopunctata. The sucking insects include membracids Gargara mixta and Leptocentrus taurus, pentatomid Scutellera nobilia, whitefly Bemisia tabaci, and the bark-eating caterpillar Indarbela tetraonis. The butterfly Anaphaeis aurota is reported to cause damage to ker (Capparis decidua). The tingid bug Dictyla cheriani is known to cause damage to lasora/Indian cherry.
