Make room for helpful insects
Flowering borders and diverse habitats can support predators and pollinators. Learn to identify the insects on your farm.

Think locally
Conditions vary across India. Use this introduction to prepare questions for a local agricultural specialist or your nearest Krishi Vigyan Kendra.
