The pepper weevil, Anthonomus eugenii is an economic pest of  pepper of all varieties.  Actara and Vydate provided significant reduction of pepper weevil adults and infestation.  Cyazypyr , a diamide insecticide, was effective in managing pepper weevil when applied in a program with Vydata, Actara and Asana.
