Why 'Early harvesting' is still one of the best methods of pest & insect control on vegetable plants
When it comes to perishable items, fruit or vegetables, insect and pests are major problem facing these plants.
I mean even when you have a plan to do the plantations in a very big way (interms of size)
The incessant attacks of imsects on veggies (not only on veggies tho, plant generally) makes your plan dilusional, you may have to reconsider whatever plan you had..
Most times these insects are not easily controlled, hence causing loss and shortage of some sort to the farmers
The best way most times is to harvest these plants real quick to avoid more damage, using chemicals on farmland especially for vegetables hasnt been a good idea for me, I don't even buy that idea at all, that will be quite harmful for consumptions
For the different species of eggplant🍆 in this case green & yellow, it is observed that both species are susceptible to insects attacks irrespective of the type...
But the yellow 🍆 does attract more insects, that's because they are attractive anyways...

Maybe this month is the breeding season for pests.
I think so too, the incessant rainfall also contributing to this as well
