developments in field treatment, there was
not much effect we saw, and still we find
the better ways and products day by day

not completely controlling it but up to
some extent. This makes to think of the
ancient days, what would have been inculcated
to keep the field safer from the pests and
viruses that existed? Obviously, they would
have overcome those using products derived
from the Mother Nature. Every single solution
they take was dependent on nature, and also
they found effective at their age. And this
practice of using organic products in fields
if continued can also bring us better results
hopefully. Moreover, these organic pesticides
are homemade,
and so it is cost effective.
