Some tips for cultural Practices to avoid attack of Pest:
•
•
•
•
Mono crop – Do not go for mono crop, because if increases pest problem,
exhaust soil nutrient and reduces soil fertility. Therefore always go for mix
cropping preferably with one pulse crop.
Go for intercropping
Go for trap crop e.g marigold, caster, sun flower, ladies finger etc.
Go for border crops – Plan two to three rows of jowar in the periphery.
Go for pheromone Trap:
• This trap attract male insects and ultimately are killed. This is necessary for bole
warm in cotton, fruit and shoot borer of brinjal
• Birds perches – Allow different types of birds to take shelter in the farm. They
will eat the insects and population will be reduce.

barrels
