Dear Group Members,

In Indian state Chhattisgarh this bug is damaging Jatropha plants.
It is pest of many traditional agricultural crops. Jatropha
plantations are serving as pest bank for it during off-season when
agricultural crops are not in fields. I am keeping close view on its
infestation.

If you have seen it in your area, please write back to me so that we
can show the planners that how Jatropha in so-called wasteland is
becoming curse for agricultural crops. It is claimed by Jatropha
supporters that it will not affect food crops. But evidences of its
bad effects are now visible.
