Replant. the badly affected ones. buy insecticide like perfect killer or sniper. also buy a sprayer. Do u have problem with armyworms? the ones that attack maize growing point.

That stuff nearly ruined my one-hectare maize farm.
The locals here said it was a result of lack of heavy rains.


There are many pesticides to control it. I used Termitdex (not sure if the spelling is correct).
Go to the local market, the agro-traders will help you out.

NB, do not spray randomly, spay-bath the crops directly.
Goodluck.

I'm about to give you an unusual suggestion on how to handle those pests.

I've noticed that grasshoppers, caterpillars etc love attacking green. By green, I mean that vegetable we Nigerians call "green".

My advice is for you to plant green at a corner of your farm/garden far from your ugu, ewedu etc. That way, the pests go there to feast on their favorite green leaving your other vegetables alone. This also makes it easy for you to apply Sniper there without poisoning your other vegetables.
