Then the digging tunnel is closed, which leads to the larvae suffocating with the toxic gases rising from the pills of Fostoxin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chemical control: Spray dieldrin or chlordane on the lower parts of the trunk and the surrounding soil.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sprays of malathion, dimethoate, diazinon, chlorthion, fenthion, or trichlorfon give good results.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, we would like to note that we, at the world of plants website, offer you all the necessary services in the world of plants, we provide all farmers and those interested in plants with three main services::-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/en\/consulting\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article bottom&amp;utm_id=blog\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/consulting?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article+bottom&amp;utm_id=blog\">Artificial intelligence consulting service to help you identify diseases that affect plants and how to deal with them<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/en\/blog\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article bottom&amp;utm_id=blog\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/worldofplants.ai\/blog?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article+bottom&amp;utm_id=blog\">Blog about plants, plant diseases and care of various crops<\/a><\/strong> ...
