I have www redirect in .htaccess.
So www.example.com gets 301 redirect to example.com
But google still tries to fetch www.example.com also.
Can i disable googlebot fetcing www.example.com?
Eg from webaster tools or robots.txt?

In Google Webmaster Tools you can set your preferred hostname – with or without www, but this comes with no guarantee from Google. As you have 301s from www to non-www, Googlebot will probably respect your wish.
