[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.abnnewswire.net/companies/en/31347/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%97-Mission-NewEnergy-%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B3%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%94.html/4) is gaining value commercially as the demand of nonrenewable fuel sources increases tremendously and likewise [Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is an environmentally friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is thought about to be an outstanding fuel substitute and it is also very affordable compared to other fuels. Recently, [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) is facing some difficulty with insects and diseases. The insects are categorized into two varieties: Pest that affect young plants and Pest that impact grown plants.
+
Young plant bugs: Cutworm, Scarabeid Beetle, Army worm, Grasshopper.
+
Agrotis ipsilon: It is commonly referred to as Cut worm. This bug affects the seedlings and young [jatropha curcas](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) plants. If the plant is affected by the cutworm, the stem gets cut nearer to the soil surface area and this will diminished the plant entirely.
+
Control: This bug can be [managed](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) by picking the larva discovered around the plants or by mixing the bran, sawdust with insecticides.
+
Scarabaeid Beetle: This pest destroys the root of the young plant. Initially, the larva takes in the natural matters present in the soil and then comes to the root. The larva attack may kill the whole plant.
+
Control: The plant with excellent resistance power can overcome the bug. For heavy attack, insecticides with parts carbosulfan and carbofuran can be used to eliminate the pest.
+
Army worm: Spodoptera litura existence can be [recognized](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) by biting in the leaves. The extreme infection could completely eliminate the plants.
+
Control: Insecticides are used to control the pests.
+
Grasshopper: This prevails pest found in several plants. Valanga nigricornis and Locusta migratoria extensively attacks the plant. The bug frequently attacks 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 the [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) stem and it is commonly seen in Indonesia. The [stem assaulted](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) by this insect typically drop. The presence can be [recognized](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) by the larva penetration hole at the stem.
+
Control: The Insecticide generally used to control this pest is carbofuran.
+
Pest of leaf: The typical bugs observed are leaf caterpillar, Neetle caterpillar, Leaf hopper, Mite, Ear corn caterpillar.
+
Leaf Caterpillar: This insect can [consume](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) all the leaves of the plant in brief duration. The quality and yield of the seeds get decreased due to the heavy attack.
+
Control: This can be [controlled](https://www.pinterest.com.au/missionnewenergy/) by selecting the old larvae around the surface area and [discarding](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) the attacked leaves.
+
Needle Caterpillar: This caterpillar is covered with spines and produces a burning sensation when allowed to exposure to skin as it produces specific [chemical compound](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048). Initially the bug crowded in the leaf and after that spread all over the plant when it gets older.
+
Control: Manually, the bug can be killed just by [soaking](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) it in water or kerosene. The heavy attack can be managed by spraying organophosphate insecticides.
+
Leaf Hopper: This pest is discovered mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. The [pest targets](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) the leaf and sucks all the nutrients of the leaf and gets curls at the tip. Later, the entire leaf dry and die.
+
Control: The heavy attack can be controlled by utilizing insecticides like imidachloprid, beta cyfluthrin or carbosulfan.
+
Mite: Mite also assaults the leaf and makes the entire plant weak. The pest presence can be [identified](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) when the leaf become yellowish, diminishes, reddens and fall down. The pest can also be spread out through fallen leaves.
+
Control: Some preventive measures can be simulated correct sanitation and burning the fallen leaves. Heavy attack can be dealt with by spraying insecticides.
+
Some [terrible](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) bug which attacks flower and fruit are, [Stink bug](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) (Nezara viridula)
+
javanus, Tip borer caterpillar.
+
Stink Bug: Sting bug is a severe bug which assaults the plant throughout [bloom duration](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) so the crop yield entirely drops. This pest is seen around the tropical area.
+
The harmful enzyme in the plant diminishes the entire plant.
+
Control: Insecticides recommended for this pest is chlorfluazuron, diflubenzuron, alfamethrin, and lamda cyhalothrin.
+
Tip borer caterpillar: The insects typically takes place [attacks](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) the plant in blooming season and this pest is seen commonly in tropical regions. The female bug laid the eggs on the tender part of the plant and the young [larvae feed](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) the young fruits and plant pointers.
+
Control: Manually, the assaulted seeds are advised to burn. The insecticides like monocrotophos and bensultap are sprayed at the blooming season.
