A reply: "Apply general purpose pesticide Rogor (DIMETHOATE 30% EC). Dosage: 2ml per liter of water. How to apply: Spray it on the infected area as well as the healthy shoots to prevent further infection. Duration: twice a week during the evenings. Watch for two weeks for recovery. If the infestation persists you may spray pesticide containing monocrotophos . Same dosage. Alternatively, you may also try bio-pesticides (neem based) available in the market. But I donot know the brands and their effectiveness in controlling the severe infestation.. However I feel the specific pesticide can be suggested only after examining the infestation. Warning: All the pesticides are very poisonous and one should keep the containers in a safe place ( away from the reach of children)." from Mahadeswara ji.
