Control the outbreak of termites in horticultural crops like this

  • The problem of termites is seen in horticultural crops like pomegranate, mango, guava, Jamun, lemon, orange, papaya, amla etc.

  • Insects tunnel into the ground and feed plant roots. When the outbreak is high, they also eat the stem and form a soil-like structure.

  • In summer, deep ploughing in the soil destroys termites and always use good rotten manure (FYM).

  • Beauveria bassiana [Bave curb] 1 kg should be mixed with 25 kg FYM before sowing. 

  • Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that the termite queen as well as other members will die.

  • Use chlorpyrifos 50 + Cypermethrin 5 % EC [ Lethal super 550 ] @ 250 ml per 10 litres of water in the holes made on the stems by the termites and add the same medicine near the roots of the tree in 50 ml per 10 litres of water.
