[Jatropha Curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) is acquiring value commercially as the need of nonrenewable fuel sources increases tremendously and also [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) is an environmentally friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is thought about to be an exceptional fuel alternative and it is also really economical compared to other fuels. Recently, [Jatropha](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) is facing some trouble with bugs and diseases. The bugs are [classified](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html) into two varieties: Pest that affect young plants and Pest that affect grown plants.
+
Young plant insects: Cutworm, Scarabeid Beetle, Army worm, Grasshopper.
+
Agrotis ipsilon: It is frequently referred to as Cut worm. This pest impacts the [seedlings](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and young [jatropha curcas](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1463471/000165495419013063/R31.htm) plants. If the plant is affected by the cutworm, the stem gets cut nearer to the soil surface and this will shrunk the plant totally.
+
Control: This pest can be controlled by choosing the larva discovered around the plants or by blending the bran, sawdust with insecticides.
+
Scarabaeid Beetle: This [bug destroys](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) the root of the young plant. Initially, the [larva consumes](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) the natural matters present in the soil and after that comes to the root. The larva attack might [eliminate](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) the entire plant.
+
Control: The plant with good resistance power can conquer the pest. For heavy attack, insecticides with parts carbosulfan and carbofuran can be to kill the pest.
+
Army worm: Spodoptera litura [existence](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/ipos/overview?dealId=804419-65608) can be determined by biting in the leaves. The extreme infection might totally eliminate the plants.
+
Control: Insecticides are utilized to manage the pests.
+
Grasshopper: This is typical insect found in a number of plants. Valanga nigricornis and Locusta migratoria widely attacks the plant. The bug frequently attacks the young plant.
+
Control: The insecticides utilized betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, thiodicarb, MIPC, and fipronil.
+
Pest observed in fully grown plants:
+
Pest of Stem: Ostrinia furnacalis, Xyleborus spp.
+
Ostrinia furnacalis and Xyleborus: This insect harms the [jatropha curcas](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159346/mission-newenergy-delivers-maiden-biodiesel-production-to-global-oil-major-24476.html) stem and it is widely seen in Indonesia. The stem assaulted by this insect generally fall down. The presence can be identified by the larva penetration hole at the stem.
+
Control: The Insecticide typically used to manage this bug is [carbofuran](https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/159352/mission-newenergy-debt-free-focused-on-biofuel-joint-venture-60797.html).
+
Pest of leaf: The typical bugs observed are leaf caterpillar, Neetle caterpillar, Leaf hopper, Mite, Ear corn caterpillar.
+
Leaf Caterpillar: This insect can consume all the leaves of the plant in short duration. The quality and yield of the seeds get decreased due to the heavy attack.
+
Control: This can be managed by picking the old larvae around the surface and discarding the attacked leaves.
+
Needle Caterpillar: This caterpillar is covered with spinal columns and produces a burning feeling when [allowed](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) to call with skin as it produces particular chemical compound. Initially the [bug crowded](https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MNEL) in the leaf and after that spread all over the plant when it ages.
+
Control: Manually, the pest can be killed only by soaking it in water or kerosene. The heavy attack can be controlled by spraying organophosphate insecticides.
+
Leaf Hopper: This insect is discovered mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. The bug targets the leaf and sucks all the [nutrients](https://www.businessnews.com.au/Company/Mission-NewEnergy) of the leaf and gets curls at the idea. Later, the whole [leaf dry](https://www.zoominfo.com/c/mission-newenergy/346542889) and pass away.
+
Control: The heavy attack can be managed by [utilizing insecticides](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) like imidachloprid, beta cyfluthrin or carbosulfan.
+
Mite: Mite also assaults the leaf and makes the entire plant weak. The bug presence can be identified when the leaf ended up being yellow-colored, diminishes, reddens and drop. The insect can also be spread out through fallen leaves.
+
Control: Some preventive procedures can be simulated correct sanitation and burning the fallen leaves. Heavy attack can be treated by spraying insecticides.

+
Chrysocoris javanus, Tip borer caterpillar.
+
Stink Bug: Sting bug is a major bug which attacks the plant throughout blossom period so the crop yield totally drops. This insect is seen around the [tropical region](https://www.bloomberg.com/profile/company/MNELF:US).
+
The toxic enzyme in the plant shrinks the entire plant.

+
