[Jatropha](https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/MISSION-NEWENERGY-LIMITED-178469/company/) [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is gaining value commercially as the need of nonrenewable fuel sources increases greatly and likewise [Jatropha](https://www.intelligentinvestor.com.au/shares/asx-mbt/mission-newenergy-limited/share-price) is an environment-friendly energy plantation. Plantation of this plant is thought about to be an excellent fuel replacement and it is also very cost-effective compared to other fuels. Recently, [jatropha curcas](https://forest500.org/rankings/companies/mission-newenergy-limited) is dealing with some trouble with bugs and illness. The insects are categorized into 2 ranges: Pest that affect young plants and Pest that affect developed plants.
+
Young plant pests: Cutworm, Scarabeid Beetle, Army worm, Grasshopper.

+
Mite: Mite also assaults the leaf and makes the entire plant weak. The insect presence can be recognized when the leaf ended up being yellow-colored, shrinks, turns red and fall down.
