This is likely a problem caused by the larvae of wood-boring beetles or longhorn beetles.
If the holes are smaller than 1mm, it indicates an issue with wood-boring beetles. Recommendations are as follows:
- First, scrape the affected area of the bark until you see white.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of Mr Ganick BST with 5ml of Mr Ganick Lepid 007, add 500ml of water.
- Then, using a syringe, inject the mixture directly into the holes until they overflow. Apply the mixture around the holes. Repeat 10 times for each hole.
- Repeat this treatment once a week for at least three consecutive weeks. Usually, repair is visible within a week.
If the holes are larger than 10mm, it indicates a problem with longhorn beetles. Recommendations are as follows:
- Use cloth or sandpaper to clean the dust outside the holes.
- Pour Mr Ganick Dr Neem into the holes (shake well beforehand) until it almost overflows.
- Seal the holes with soil (sticky soil, such as loam, red soil, or clay).
- Wait and apply Baba Compost-based Fertilizer during the recovery process. Repeat this process after two weeks. If there are many affected trees, you may need to purchase concentrated Mr Ganick Lepid 007 and dilute it 500 times before pouring it into the holes.
