IPM - The Ground Reality

[Ashok Kumar]

Somehow, it is still a strong belief among scientific community that Insect/Pest Management can only be done by humans interventions - be it anything like Bio-pestocicides, rearing of predators and parasitoids, trap cropping and so on..

Back here in Haryana and Punjab farmers are witnessing something very different phenomenon... 

Late Dr. Surender Dalal has invented a technique basically derived from AESA based IPM and added endless dimensions to it.. 

The technique is so simple that vernacular farmers are successfully teaching other farmers without any support from Departments and SAUs.. 

The experiments started with Cotton and now we have done successfully on almost all the crops including vegetables..
