PESTS OF SORGHUM :: Minor Pests :: Mirid Bug
12. Mirid bug: Creontiades pallidifer (Miridae: Hemiptera)
No external symptom will be visible. The earhead should be tapped either on the palm (or) a piece of carboard. A number of brownish (or) greenish nymphs and adults can be seen. On the developing grains small brownish spots will be visible. In severe infestation, the grains get shriveled without maturing and the earheads appear uneven.
