February 18, 2017A.I found a link that does list the agents used on the control of Jojoba, but I would suggest you talk with your local County Extension Office to advice on the plant and how to control specific to your region.
I have included a link to help you locate your nearest office.https://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/shrub/simchi/all.html

85331Q.Jojoba health
We just planted 2 jojoba plants a couple of weeks ago and they seem to be stressed. They are white on the tips. Do you know what is wrong?

March 6, 2017A.Your plant will need to be watered in the beginning until it becomes established.
Check the soil moisture level.

October 14, 2021Q.Why Shouldn’t Jojoba Soil Be Amended?
one of your articles "Jojoba Plant Care: Tips For Growing Jojoba Plants" by Teo Spengler (last updated on 04/04/18) states, "Growing jojoba plants is easiest in sandy soil, and neither amendments nor fertilizer should be added." The part saying we should not amend the soil or fertilize seems surprising. I live in the Sonoran Desert twenty miles south of Phoenix and have extremely fine, yet hard-packed sand. A major problem here is caliche soil--the stuff that's about one millennia short of becoming sandstone. Other gardening and tree-growing advice for this region emphasize to dig huge holes to break up the soil and do amendments to keep it from compacting again. SO I would like to know where Teo got this information. What are the sources?

Certified ExpertA.Our sources are generally from university cooperative publications online. Here are a couple that she probably used to get that information. I suspect that because the shrub is native, it is best not to amend the soil.
