Infestation begins at the budding and flowering stages. In the early stages, larvae voraciously feed on leaves, causing severe defoliation. As the infestation progresses, they attack flowers and developing pods. When an infested pod is split open, larvae can be observed inside, actively feeding on the seeds.
