[Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is getting importance commercially as the demand of fossil fuels increases enormously and also [jatropha curcas](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) is an environment-friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is thought about to be an outstanding fuel replacement and it is also extremely cost-effective 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 difficulty with pests and diseases. The pests are categorized into two varieties: Pest that affect young plants and Pest that affect matured plants.
+
Young plant pests: Cutworm, Scarabeid Beetle, Army worm, Grasshopper.

+
Scarabaeid Beetle: This bug damages the root of the young plant. Initially, the larva takes in the raw materials present in the soil and after that concerns the root. The larva attack might kill the entire plant.

+
Grasshopper: This is common bug discovered in a number of plants. Valanga nigricornis and Locusta migratoria widely assaults the plant. The bug often attacks the young plant.
+
Control: The insecticides used betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, thiodicarb, MIPC, and fipronil.
+
Pest observed in mature plants:
+
Pest of Stem: Ostrinia furnacalis, Xyleborus spp.
+
Ostrinia furnacalis and Xyleborus: This insect damages the [Jatropha](https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/m/0cqd_rb) stem and it is [commonly](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) seen in Indonesia.

+
Control: The Insecticide generally utilized to manage this insect is [carbofuran](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price).
+
Pest of leaf: The common insects observed are leaf caterpillar, Neetle caterpillar, Leaf hopper, Mite, Ear corn caterpillar.
+
Leaf Caterpillar: This bug can [consume](https://www.energy-xprt.com/companies/mission-newenergy-limited-36048) all the leaves of the plant in other words period. The [quality](https://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/felda-global-buys-missions-kuantan-port-plant-for-11-5-million-9053) and yield of the seeds get minimized due to the heavy attack.

+
Control: The heavy attack can be managed by using insecticides like imidachloprid, beta cyfluthrin or [carbosulfan](https://www.investing.com/equities/mission-newenergy-ltd-company-profile).
+
Mite: Mite also assaults the leaf and makes the entire plant weak. The bug presence can be determined when the leaf become yellowish, diminishes, reddens and fall down. The pest can also be spread through fallen leaves.
