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.

TAKE IT TO YOUR FIELD

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.
