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.
