Shoot fly (Atherigona naqvii) is one of the major insects affecting spring maize in North India and can cause yield loss up to 60 per cent. Central shoot withering leading to “dead heart” is the typical damage symptom. Bore holes are visible on the stem near the nodes. Young larva crawls and feeds on tender folded leaves causing typical “shot hole” symptom. Affected parts of stem may show internally tunnelling caterpillars.
