Dear subhada Nikharge, Many thanks for the advice. I fully agree with you. In fact I leave most of the pests to their natural enemies. There are many a pest in Robusta coffee. I grow Robusta coffee. I leave the control of mealybugs to birds, some aggressive ants etc. I leave the control of shot hole borers to birds like speckled peculets etc. Nature has an answer to every problem in nature. Regards Yazdy.
