As far as insect pests are concerned; Pyrilla and Black bug are major sucking pests in our crushing zone and stem and top borers are among the major chewing type insect pests. We are investing huge budget for provision of pesticides to growers for the management of these pests. Field teams consisting of development and cane departments have rigorously followed the crop of every grower to control these pests. Alhamdulillah with coordinated efforts of field staff and with patronage of JDW Group’s management we have ideally managed the populations of above mentioned all insect pests. For managing these pests we are using best chemistries of pesticides.
Due to change in climate condition and favorable conditions during 2023 sugarcane whitefly also attacked the crop in all zones of JDW Group’s mills but our timely measures stopped its spreading on vast area.
During 2023 we have also introduced drones for managing top borer and whitefly. This new innovation is very efficient, effective and economical as well for management of insect/ pest, particularly during the month of July-Sep. When crop cast be sprayed by tradition sources.
