“…Distributions of larvae indicated that beetles also oviposited near where barriers or abrupt changes in local topography had induced them to land or drop. Patterns of infestation are therefore to a certain extent predictable and might be modified by the removal or treatment of attractive plants at critical times of the year, as was successfully carried out by Raodeo et al (1976) in India. Barriers of non-host-plants, such as bananas or conifers, could also be used to limit the immigration of beetles from areas of known high numbers, such as permanent pastures, into crop areas.…”

Observations were made on the behaviour of some Costa Rican species of Phyllophaga. Studies of oviposition and early larval survival under controlled conditions indicated that P. menetriesii (Blanchard) laid most eggs under a ground cover containing grasses and that the presence of living roots in the soil was important to the survival of the young larvae of the two most common species, P. menetriesii and P. vicina (Moser). At Turrialba, Costa Rica, the destruction of young maize plants by larvae of these two species and the consequent reduction in yield were significantly greater in land which was weedy or in close association with stands of old cassava plants, than where weeds had been effectively controlled and cassava was absent. Both plant loss and yields of maize were significantly correlated with larval densities. The best correlations were with numbers of second- and third-instar larvae sampled in July and with the total numbers of third-instar larvae sampled. Regression analyses established that 4·45 seedlings, or approximately 170 kg dry grain/ha, were lost per larva per square metre sampled during the seedling stage in July. An expression to calculate the economic threshold was determined. Significantly more larvae of P. vicina were found in maize growing on ridged than on unridged land, and where applications of lime and phosphate fertilizer had been made to an acid soil. The significance of weed control on infestation is discussed.

“…Head is huge or slanted earthy colored in shading with dim hint downwardly slanted firmly sclerotized, with amazing uncovered mandibles (Imms, 1957). The harm brought about by Scarab hatchlings is assessed to lessen the harvest yields by around 40-80 per cent (Prasad and Thakur, 1959;Raodeo, 1974) and in a later report by around 12-60 per cent (Pokhrel, 2004). The white grub, Holotrichia species hatchlings are fed on the tap underlying foundations of the seedlings and the harmed plants wither and pass on (Bandara, 1990).…”

White grubs are the distractive, public Importance and a genuine requirement to Kharif crops become under rainfed conditions. Both the grubs and grown-ups are polyphagous and univoltine. No single control measure is powerful for their administration consequently is the lone alternative for their compelling administration in the sloping zone. Therefore, the stock of the insects joins 24 species having a place with 13 genera under 5 subfamilies. White grubs are larvae of melolonthinae (Scarabaeidae : Coleoptera) but the term includes larvae of Rutelinae, Dynastinae, Cetoniinae and other families of Scarabaeidea superfamily. The use of the compound bug spray on the banks of the stream makes the water contamination the following towns and makes the odds of obstruction improvement in bother. White grub damage typically appears as stunted, wilted, discolored, or dead seedlings and/or as gaps in rows where plants fail to emerge. White grubs prune roots and can feed on the mesocotyl causing plant death.
