[Jatropha Curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is gaining significance commercially as the demand of nonrenewable fuel [sources](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) increases significantly and also [Jatropha](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/mission-newenergy) is an environment-friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is considered to be an exceptional fuel substitute and it is likewise extremely cost-effective [compared](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) to other fuels. Recently, [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 facing some trouble with insects and diseases.

Control: The insecticides utilized betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, thiodicarb, MIPC, and fipronil.
+
Pest observed in mature plants:
+
Pest of Stem: Ostrinia furnacalis, Xyleborus spp.
+
Ostrinia [furnacalis](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) and Xyleborus: This bug harms the [Jatropha](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/51278-86) stem and it is extensively seen in Indonesia. The [stem assaulted](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) by this [pest typically](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) drop. The existence can be recognized by the larva penetration hole at the stem.
+
Control: The Insecticide normally used to control this insect is carbofuran.
