<br>[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is gaining importance commercially as the need of nonrenewable fuel sources increases tremendously and also [Jatropha](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is an environment-friendly energy plantation. [Plantation](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) of this plant is thought about to be an outstanding fuel substitute and it is also extremely affordable compared to other fuels. Recently, [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is facing some trouble with bugs and [diseases](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/). The insects are classified into 2 ranges: Pest that impact young plants and Pest that affect matured plants.<br>
<br>Young plant insects: Cutworm, Scarabeid Beetle, Army worm, Grasshopper.<br>
<br>Agrotis ipsilon: It is commonly referred to as Cut worm. This bug impacts the seedlings and young [jatropha curcas](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) plants. If the plant is affected by the cutworm, the stem gets cut nearer to the soil surface and this will diminished the plant totally.<br>
<br>Control: This insect can be controlled by picking the larva found around the plants or by mixing the bran, sawdust with insecticides.<br>
<br>Scarabaeid Beetle: This bug damages the root of the young plant. Initially, the larva takes in the raw materials present in the soil and then comes to the root. The larva attack might eliminate the whole plant.<br>
<br>Control: The plant with good resistance power can conquer the insect. For heavy attack, insecticides with parts carbosulfan and [carbofuran](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) can be used to kill the pest.<br>
<br>Army worm: Spodoptera litura [presence](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) can be [identified](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) by biting in the leaves. The serious infection might completely kill the plants.<br>
<br>Control: Insecticides are utilized to control the insects.<br>
<br>Grasshopper: This is typical bug found in a number of plants. Valanga nigricornis and Locusta migratoria widely attacks the plant. The insect typically attacks the young plant.<br>
<br>Control: The insecticides used betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, thiodicarb, MIPC, and fipronil.<br>
<br>Pest observed in fully grown plants:<br>
<br>Pest of Stem: Ostrinia furnacalis, Xyleborus spp.<br>
<br>Ostrinia furnacalis and Xyleborus: This pest harms the [Jatropha](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) stem and it is extensively seen in Indonesia.

The [existence](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) can be identified by the larva penetration hole at the stem.<br>
<br>Control: The Insecticide usually utilized to control this bug is carbofuran.<br>
<br>Pest of leaf: The typical insects observed are leaf caterpillar, Neetle caterpillar, Leaf hopper, Mite, Ear corn caterpillar.<br>
<br>Leaf Caterpillar: This bug can consume all the leaves of the plant simply put duration. The quality and yield of the seeds get minimized due to the heavy attack.<br>
<br>Control: This can be controlled by [choosing](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) the old larvae around the surface area and discarding the attacked leaves.<br>
<br>Needle Caterpillar: This caterpillar is covered with spinal columns and produces a burning sensation when allowed to [exposure](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) to skin as it produces specific chemical compound. [Initially](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) the in the leaf and after that spread out all over the plant when it gets older.<br>
<br>Control: Manually, the pest can be eliminated only by soaking it in water or kerosene. The [heavy attack](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) can be managed by spraying organophosphate [insecticides](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL).<br>
<br>Leaf Hopper: This insect is discovered primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. The pest targets the leaf and sucks all the [nutrients](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) of the leaf and gets curls at the tip. Later, the whole leaf dry and pass away.<br>
<br>Control: The heavy attack can be managed by using [insecticides](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) like imidachloprid, beta cyfluthrin or carbosulfan.<br>
<br>Mite: Mite also [assaults](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) the leaf and makes the entire plant weak. The insect existence can be determined when the leaf ended up being yellowish, diminishes, reddens and fall down. The insect can also be spread out through fallen leaves.<br>

<br>The hazardous enzyme in the plant diminishes the entire plant.<br>
