Groundnut fields infested with leaf roller pest are sprayed with water using a power sprayer. The force of the water shakes the leaves which in turn bring out some larvae. Then a solution is prepared with 300 ml of Neem oil mixed with 50 g of caustic soda, tobacco decoction and a piece of khadi soap. All these are diluted in 60 litres of water and sprayed over a one acre plot. |
