About the Practice
Detail:

As a remedy, 8 to 10 bunches of tobacco sticks (Cigars spp.) are drenched in water and squeezed and a decoction is prepared. The smell of this decoction is enough to eradicate sucking pest (Aphids spp.). This experiment was successfully tried out in three bhigas three years ago. After the experiment, mustard crop has not been sowed due to shortage of water in the Maniyari area of Mehsana district for a couple of seasons. This experiment was tried out by Kantilalbhai on the advice of his brother Babubhai.
