Bio-Pesticides : The Plant Protectors

Nature has provided a pest control system, which needs to be preserved. Diversity has an important role in building and maintaining an ecological balance. Some of the NPM practices that are based on observing and creating diversity are mixed or multi cropping techniques which include insect repelling plants, perennial trees and grasses; and preparation of bio-pesticides from different plant materials such as Milea azadrichta, Vitex negundo, calotropis gigantean, Pongamea glabra etc. Methods of Preparation Method – 1  Ingredients: Pods of Datura [Datura sirumarium]  - 1 kg Seeds of Arali [Nerium oleander]  - 1 kg Tobacco waste - 1 kg Lime [diluted calcium Carbonate] - 250 g Cow Urine - 5 lit Mud pot (10 ltr capacity) - 1 No. Preparation Method: The pods of Datura to be finely powdered; the seeds of Arali pounded well.

Dhabolkar method of green manuring

Mr.Dhabolkar, an organic farming expert in Maharashtra, has proved the efficacy of green manure method, which helps to return to the soil many times more nutrients than what we take from that same soil. The first step, therefore, to enrich the soil organically is to grow a variety of crops on the land and then plough the green matter back into the soil. Using this method it is possible to enrich the depleted soil in just two hundred days. Even land that has been depleted of all nutrients due to chemical farming can be resuscitated in this manner.By growing the following crops for 50-60 days and then ploughing them in-situ we add balanced nutrients and micro-nutrients to the land. The soil will become enriched in less than a year and micro-nutrient deficiency is eliminated. The following quantities will suffice for one acre. Choose four of each of the following types:(One from category total five) 1. Grains: 5Kg (Example: 1 kg Sorghum, 500 gms Pearl millet, 250 gms F
