Detect early infestation by periodically looking out

Examine branch for holes/ excreta/ gummosis. If detected, inject using a
disposable syringe (without needle) 5-10ml of
dichlorvos 2ml/litre and seal the hole with clay.
Cut out the drying portion of the branch and swab
copper-oxy chloride 50% WP on cut end. Spray all
surrounding trees with Quinalphos 2.5ml/litre or
chlorpyrifos 2.5 ml/litre.
It is good to give a prophylactic swab during May/
June on the main trunk with following mixture:
Carbaryl (50WP) 6g + Copper-oxy-chloride (50%
WP) 10g + (sticker 1 ml + Neem oil 1 ml) (all per
