As an economic crop, brinjal often faces various pest problems during its growth process. To ensure quality harvests, farmers must use targeted pesticides accurately and make proper field management adjustments according to the crop’s condition. After working together with Advansia’s technical team to study how to optimise orchard management, Mr. Lim shared that pest problems in the farm had been significantly controlled.

In recent years, Malaysia’s climate has become increasingly unpredictable, with frequent extreme weather conditions. Coupled with the impact of the pandemic, vegetable prices have become unstable. These uncertainties have created many challenges for farmers and left many under long-term pressure.

Common Pest Problems in Brinjal Cultivation

As one of the important economic vegetables, brinjal has maintained a leading position in planting area for a long time. However, throughout the brinjal growing process, various pest problems remain key factors that affect yield and quality.

Common sucking pests in brinjal cultivation include aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and red spider mites. Chewing pests mainly include heart borers and fruit borers. In severe cases, these pests can cause brinjal plants to lose control, become weak, or even die. Therefore, how farmers use targeted pesticides accurately, while also managing market price fluctuations, has become an important factor in determining planting returns.

Helping Improve Crop Quality

Advansia has long gone deep into the field, working closely with farmers to explore crop pest and disease control solutions, helping improve crop yield and quality. In the brinjal farm managed by Mr. Lim in Batu Pahat, Johor, the company’s technical team maintained close communication with him and worked together to study how to optimise crop management and reduce the chances of pest outbreaks.

Mr. Lim stated that Advansia has provided great support to farmers over the years, especially in dealing with fruit borer outbreaks. Recently, fruit borers caused large-scale damage in the brinjal farm, seriously affecting crop health and fruit quality. After detailed discussion with the company’s team, Mr. Lim used Spinosad 2.38SC for control, with a dosage of 20ml mixed with 20 litres of water.

After application, the pests were clearly suppressed and crop losses were greatly reduced. Mr. Lim expressed strong confidence in the product’s effectiveness.
