Curative Control

Plants in pest control

1. Basil
2. Finger euphorbia
3. Neem
4. Spanish needle

Physical methods

1. Pheromone trap
2. Protective collars
   Protective collars made of plastic or paper cups, plastic drink bottles with ripped-out bottom, sturdy cardboard, and milk cartons. Place the collar around the young plant and push into the soil to prevent the cutworm from attacking the stem.
3. Sticky substances such as molasses, saw dusts, or crushed eggshells placed around the base of each plant. When cutworm emerges to feed, it will come in contact with the trap, get stuck, harden, and die.
