Abstract

In December 1926, a report was received from a Flower merchant of Bellary regarding serious losses sustained by him by insect attack in his jasmine garden during the past seven years. After preliminary enquiries made through the Agricultural Demonstrator, Bellary, the garden was visited by the writer on the 28th February 1927 in his campany and the actual conditions were studied. The insect responsible for the dainage was found to be Antestia cruciata-known to be a pest of Coffee and Jasmine."
