An evergreen, beautiful dioecious fruit tree Antidesma bunius is in
bearing at HRS, Anantharjupeta. In this each bunch of fruits ripens
unevenly, so the fruits in a bunch are all in different colors. The
fruits are most often used for making wine and tea and also used

control. Similar trend was followed in 2nd quarter i.e., six months after
treatment, where the incidence of leaf damage (2.68 %) was less in botanical cake and paste
followed by chlorantraniliprole (4.28 %) which differed significantly with each other.
