Jackfruit is a unique fruit in the Guangdong region and is also a favorite among people. However, during the growth of jackfruit, it is inevitable to be infested by some pests, the most common of which is the jackfruit borer. If not controlled in time, it will have a significant impact on the yield and quality of jackfruit. Therefore, choosing an effective pesticide is crucial.
I. Understand the extent of the harm caused by the jackfruit borer
The jackfruit borer, also known as the stem-boring beetle, lays a large number of eggs in the low-temperature climate of spring and autumn. After the eggs hatch, the larvae invade the inside of the stem, causing the stem to become hollow or even rotten. In severe cases, it can lead to the death of the entire jackfruit trunk, thereby affecting the yield.
II. Use fungicides
When controlling jackfruit borers, we can use fungicides such as carbendazim and chlorothalonil. Both of these fungicides have certain insecticidal effects and can prevent insect invasion.
III. Use insecticides
In addition to fungicides, some insecticides can also be used, such as dipterex and thiophanate-methyl. Dipterex is a commonly used pesticide that can kill the larvae and adults of the borer, and the dosage is relatively small. Thiophanate-methyl is a new type of insecticide with very good results.
IV. Use compound insecticides and fungicides
To better control the jackfruit borer, we can choose some pesticides with composite effects, such as Taixinle and Kaixing Mingling. These pesticides not only have fungicidal effects but can also effectively control the larvae and adults of the borer.
V. Choose pesticides suitable for the local climate and disease condition
Different climates and regions have different requirements for pesticide selection. Therefore, when choosing a pesticide, it must be selected based on the local climate and disease conditions to achieve better control effects.
VI. Use pesticides rationally
Rational use of pesticides is to maximize the effect of pesticides while also reducing environmental pollution. Therefore, when using pesticides, be sure to follow the instructions on the label.
VII. Purchase pesticides from qualified distributors
When purchasing pesticides, be sure to choose qualified distributors. This can ensure that the purchased pesticides are genuine and effective, and can better help us control the jackfruit borer.
VIII. Do a good job of protection
When using pesticides, be sure to take protective measures, such as wearing a mask and gloves. This can effectively protect our bodies and avoid safety issues.
IX. Crop rotation and cleaning of pest and disease infected areas
Crop rotation and cleaning of pest and disease infected areas are very effective control measures. This can reduce the probability of jackfruit borer infection and ensure the yield and quality of jackfruit.
X. Use natural enemies for control
We can use some natural enemies to control the jackfruit borer, such as the camellia flower bug. These natural enemies can effectively prey on the larvae and adults of the borer to achieve a control effect.
XI. Regular inspection and spraying
Regular inspection and spraying are also a common control measure. We can regularly inspect and spray according to the growth cycle of the jackfruit to ensure the control effect.
XII. Use green control methods
In addition to chemical pesticides, we can also use some green control methods, such as using plant extracts and microbial agents. These green control methods are non-toxic and harmless, and are also very friendly to the environment.
XIII. Closely observe the control effect
After using pesticides or other control measures, we must closely observe the control effect. If the control effect is not ideal, we should promptly replace it with a more effective control measure.
XIV. Strengthen the management and maintenance of jackfruit
In addition to controlling the jackfruit borer, we also need to strengthen the management and maintenance of jackfruit. This can increase the disease resistance of jackfruit and prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.
XV.
Controlling the jackfruit borer is very important. Choosing a suitable pesticide is key, and it is also necessary to strengthen the management and maintenance of jackfruit. Only in this way can the yield and quality of jackfruit be guaranteed.
