To cure the problem, use three kilogram leaves of jatropha (Jatropha gossypifolia) and add twenty liters of water. The mixture is boiled till five liters of extract remains in the container. The extract is cooled. In 200 ml of extract, fifteen liters of water is added. The extract is sprinkled to the affected rice (Oryza sativa) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crop, which effectively controls the sucking pests. The practice has received a national award for the neologism.
