Cutworms are greasy larvae that are black in colour with pale dorsal stripes making them distinctive. They are usually found in the soil but some species feed on the seedlings and newly transplanted plants that are in the soil level.
Cutworms in chilli plants leave the tender leaves with irregular holes, cut in them, or cause the stems to be cut at the ground level. The worms come out at night to feed and go back under the soil during day time. While doing so, they could drag the stem underground causing them to wilt.
The best preventive course is to plough the soil at least 3-5 weeks prior to planting to force the worms out of the soil. It will help its predators to catch hold of them as well. You must make sure to clear the weeds regularly and plant sunflower plants in between to attract the worms. Also, make sure to do tilling and remove all plant residue to leave the worms starving for a few weeks.
Cutworms usually attack the roots and shoot systems at ground level but during summer they may come up the plants and destroy leaves and other parts as well. Timely use of pesticides can control them effectively. We hope that this information will be helpful for you.
