Controlling Green Larvae In Chick Pea
About the Practice
If the gram crop (Cicer arietinum) is affected by green larvae, the plants become dry as larvae suck all the nutritive elements. To control infestation by green larvae, Rameshbhai Damajibhai spreads juice of the leaves of wind killer (Clerodendrum phlomidis) in the crop area before the planting of seeds. This practice successfully prevents infestation by the green larvae. He learnt of this technique from his elders.
