Name two insect-pests of gram.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Gram pod borer

2) Spotted pod borer

3) Blue butterfly

Explanation:

These insects can cause great damage to the plant and the seeds of the plant.

The pod borers can be spotted or have lateral lines on them and these are usually found in the seeds of the plant with their head inside the seed and rest of the body hanging out.

The butterfly usually damages the crop by creating holes in the leaves and their presence can be felt by spotting single white coloured eggs on the leaves of the plant.
