To ensure a stable sesame harvest, this guide provides information on the types of major pests and diseases encountered during cultivation and effective control techniques. In particular, it covers methods for distinguishing between late blight, which occurs in hot and humid environments; wilt disease, which appears in dry soil; and airborne leaf blight, along with appropriate chemical treatment methods. Furthermore, it includes damage patterns and specific management strategies for major pests that degrade sesame quality, such as tobacco budworm larvae, aphids, and stink bugs. Farmers can minimize damage by periodically monitoring pest and disease occurrences and applying dedicated pesticides registered in the Pesticide Safety Information System according to established standards. Finally, annual statistics on sesame cultivation area and production volume highlight the importance of systematic production management.
