| Abstract |
Chilli and brinjal pests are white coloured and shaped like ants. With a life span of about 15 days, they are seen in abundance. Maliyabhai of Baroda has been using a traditional method of control for the last 19 years. He uses alum and empty castor (Ricinus communis) shells to control these pests. Around 60 kg empty castor shells and two kg alum are mixed together and spread on the land while ploughing before the sowing of the seeds. |
