2. Insect damage: it is easy to occur aphid damage in the seedling stage of Javanese kapok. If aphids are found, they can be killed by spraying Omethoate three times in a row, with an interval of 6-7 days. The damage of longicorn may appear in the trunk, which makes its growth slow, curved and easy to be broken by wind.
