About the Practice
Detail:

Larval infestation in the sapota (Achras sapota) crop leads to a heavy loss of production due to sucking and eating of fruits and leaves by the pest. To control larval infestation, Khatubhai Patel prepares a juice of the leaves of basil (Ocimum sanctum ) after grinding and then adds 500 g water to the mash. This solution should then be sprinkled on the peach crop. This traditional technique completely eliminates the larvae.
