[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is getting importance commercially as the demand of nonrenewable fuel sources increases enormously and also [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) is an environment-friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is considered to be an [exceptional fuel](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) replacement and it is likewise very economical compared to other fuels. Recently, [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) is facing some problem with pests and [diseases](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/).

+
Agrotis ipsilon: It is frequently known as Cut worm. This bug impacts the seedlings and young [Jatropha](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) plants. If the plant is [impacted](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) by the cutworm, the stem gets cut nearer to the soil surface area and this will diminished the plant completely.
+
Control: This bug can be controlled by choosing the larva found around the plants or by blending the bran, sawdust with insecticides.
+

+
Army worm: Spodoptera litura presence can be recognized by biting in the leaves. The severe infection could completely eliminate the plants.
+
Control: Insecticides are used to control the bugs.
+
Grasshopper: This is typical pest found in numerous plants. Valanga nigricornis and [Locusta migratoria](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) extensively attacks the plant. The insect often assaults the young plant.
+
Control: The insecticides used betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, thiodicarb, MIPC, and fipronil.
+
Pest observed in fully grown plants:
+
Pest of Stem: Ostrinia furnacalis, Xyleborus spp.
+
Ostrinia furnacalis and Xyleborus: This [pest damages](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) the [jatropha curcas](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) stem and it is extensively seen in Indonesia. The stem attacked by this insect usually fall down. The presence can be identified by the larva penetration hole at the stem.
+
Control: The Insecticide generally used to [control](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) this bug is carbofuran.
+
Pest of leaf: The common pests observed are leaf caterpillar, Neetle caterpillar, Leaf hopper, Mite, Ear corn caterpillar.
+
Leaf Caterpillar: This insect can [consume](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) all the leaves of the plant in other words period. The quality and yield of the seeds get lowered due to the heavy attack.
+
Control: This can be controlled by selecting the old larvae around the surface area and getting rid of the assaulted leaves.

Needle Caterpillar: This caterpillar is [covered](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) with spinal columns and produces a burning sensation when [allowed](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) to exposure to skin as it produces particular chemical substance. Initially the pest crowded in the leaf and then spread out all over the plant when it ages.
+
Control: Manually, the insect can be killed just by [soaking](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile) it in water or kerosene. The heavy attack can be controlled by spraying organophosphate [insecticides](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb).
+
Leaf Hopper: This insect is discovered mainly in tropical and subtropical areas. The [pest targets](https://www.zonebourse.com/cours/action/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-8557641/) the leaf and sucks all the nutrients of the leaf and gets curls at the suggestion. Later, the entire leaf dry and die.
