Make room for helpful insects
Flowering borders and diverse habitats can support predators and pollinators. Learn to identify the insects on your farm.
Observe before intervening
Not every insect is a pest. Regular scouting helps you distinguish crop damage from harmless or helpful activity.
Observe. Record. Adapt.
Start by noting your crop, season, soil conditions and available resources. Choose a manageable trial, keep records and review the results before scaling up.
Think locally
Conditions vary across India. Use this introduction to prepare questions for a local agricultural specialist or your nearest Krishi Vigyan Kendra.
