In the past tea plantation at Pagilaran estate is attacked by leaf roller pests. These are Homona coffearia, Cydia leucostoma, and Gracilaria theifora. At present a slug Parmarion pupillaris is found and considered as a new leaf roller pest, because they live inside of the rolled leaf. This symptom is not known before. The population of Parmarion slug is high 3-4 slugs per bush of tea at the sub-division of Pagilaran estate of Pagilaran, Binorong and Garjito. This condition maybe supported by the weather that Pagilaran estate have a high rainfall of 4,842-6,067 mm per year with only 1-2 months of dry season.
