Pesticides with the active ingredient imidacloprid are effective choices for the Jatropha tree.
Specifically, the Jatropha tree tends to be described as pest-free. But it may have problems with cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon), stink bugs (Nezara viridula) and tip borer caterpillars (Dichocrosis punctiferalis). Imidacloprid may be applied as a soil drench to solve soil pests such as cutworms. But it also may be applied as foliar spray or trunk injection to solve above ground pests.
The jatropha tree should be fertilized once every spring, summer and autumn. The preferred fertilizer for this tree is one that is high in phosphorus content.
