Solution: Apply Shooter at 2–3 ml per litre, timed to peak egg-hatching (typically 10–15 days after transplanting)
2. Fruit Borer Damage Appearing as Pinholes on Chilli Fruit
Solution: Shift the spray timing earlier; apply Shooter at first flowering, before fruit set, at 2–3 ml per litre.
3. Shoot Wilting ("Dead Heart") in Brinjal and Okra from Shoot Borer
Solution: Apply Shooter, focused specifically on new growth and growing tips, not just general foliage, at 2–3 ml per litre.
