In Sri Lanka, sand from the sacred ‘BO’ tree is applied to paddy crop. Insects fall into the water to be eaten by the fish. A rough large broom made of twigs is used to clean paddy after threshing. It is dragged over the crop. The insects are either crushed or fall into the water. It had been a practice to work on water wheel made of bamboo which produces a continuous beat. This sound, according to some research in Japan, causes disturbances to mating among insects. It causes reduction in pest population. Sometimes two wasted momoties are also tied together and hung.
