[Digestion] Req more info on corn borer control with slurry

[Murali Krishna]

Good day Mr. Joe Crescenzi,

I think the larve Spodopetra litura also falls under the same category.
This usually attack in tobacco, chillies, etc.  Both species falls under
one family.  I think the slurry should have some effect on spodopetra
litura also.  It would be great if you can share some of your experiences
on the usage of digestate (slurry) in controlling other insects and pests.

Murali Krishna.
