Late sowing of crop should be avoided. Use of Neem based compounds which will be helpful as a deterrent. Use of resistance/ tolerant varieties as well as growing of attractant crops i.e. Carrot family, sunflower family and marigold (to attract syrphid fly, lacewing, damselfly and ladybird beetle). Use of need basis chemical compounds i.e., Imidacloprid and Fipronil for sucking pests because these compounds having lower hazards effects on other fauna and flora.
The Coccinellid beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Syrphid fly, Ischiodon javana (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Syrphidae) are the main predators of this pest.
