Mr. Modi added: The Faculty of Agriculture of Birjand University has now started a research project on jujube pest biology, and this method will help to control this pest.

 Ghous,:Jujube new pest had appeared due to such cases like weakening of the trees, the presence of contamination centers in the orchard, and the lack of enough attention by the gardeners.

The head of plant production of Khusf  Agricultural Jihad Management continued: "These pests have three generations per year according to the climatic conditions, which start working on new sprouts from March 6 to April 6 due to the heat and cold on their activity regions."
