How to control the outbreak of termites in horticulture crops

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 to destroy termites and always use good rotten manure (FYM).
1 kg Beauveria bassiana should be mixed with 25 kg FYM before sowing.
Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that all other insects along with the termite queen die.
Use chlorpyrifos 50 EC @ 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.
