The distal area is marked with a lighter irregular band, and a small but distinct black dash extends distally from the bean-shaped wing spot. The hindwings are white to grey, and the veins are distinguished by dark scales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Egg: The color of the egg is white at first, then turns brown as it ages. They are 0.43 to 0.50 mm high, 0.51 to 0.58 mm wide, and are roughly spherical in shape with a slightly flattened base. The egg bears 35 to 40 ribs radiating from the apex. The ribs are alternately long and short.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Larvae: There are five to nine instars, with a total of six to seven instars being the most common. The larvae are uniformly colored on the dorsal and lateral surfaces, ranging from light gray or grayish brown to almost black. In some individuals, the dorsal region is slightly lighter or brown, but the larva lacks a distinct dorsal stripe. Ventralally, the larvae tend to be lighter in color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"368\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" class=\"wp-image-81271\" title=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-2.jpeg 368w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-2-300x274.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A picture showing you what the eggs look like<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" class=\"wp-image-81278\" title=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-3.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-3-300x217.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-3-768x554.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>A picture showing you what the caterpillar looks like<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"426\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" class=\"wp-image-81283\" title=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-4.jpeg 426w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-4-300x237.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 426px) 100vw, 426px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An image shows you what the caterpillar looks like in another color<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-5.jpeg\" alt=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" class=\"wp-image-81285\" title=\"Cutworm in Zucchini - Plant World\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-5.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-5-300x185.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/word-image-81261-5-768x474.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>A picture showing you what a complete (adult) insect looks like.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%A3%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%A8_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B6%D8%A9_%D9%81%D9%8A_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%A7\"><\/span><strong>Causes of cutworm in zucchini<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The stem of the seedling is tender when the number of larvae in the soil increases and in the case of high temperature, as the time required for the eggs to hatch decreases to 3 days at 30 degrees Celsius.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neglecting field operations such as pruning, balanced fertilization, and hoeing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not remove weeds and plant residues from the field, as they are considered a haven for the pest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of attention to the agricultural distances between plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not plow the soil and fertilize it with appropriate organic fertilizer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B8%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%81_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%A8%D8%A9_%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%B1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%AF%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B6%D8%A9_%D9%81%D9%8A_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%83%D9%88%D8%B3%D8%A7\"><\/span><strong>Suitable conditions for the spread of cutworms in zucchini<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Larval development is strongly influenced by temperature, with the ideal temperature being around 27\u00b0C.
