Detail:

Rodent is a creature that gives trouble throughout the year. Especially it destroys the crop, even though medicines are sprayed in the field, when the crops are ready to be harvested. Thirty to forty percent destruction is caused by rodents in cotton and groundnut crops. After sowing the crops in the field, the sunflower crops could be sowed in the intervening spaces between the main crops. When the sunflower (Helianthus annus) blooms, the carnivorous birds and animals sit on it to catch the rodents for their food. The bird sits on the flower, and they attack and catch the rodents and eat them. The rodents are thus destroyed. They are afraid, as they sense the attendant danger near the crop. Another method is to prepare a sweet-dish and mix it with neem (Azadirchta indica) oil and other poisonous drug. Keep this dish at important places where the rodents come. Rodents gets attracted by the smell of the sweet-dish, comes to eat the same and are killed. Condition In this method, care should be taken so that the rodent does not know about the bird sitting on the sunflower plant. Further, the smell of the poisonous drug should not subsidize smell of sweet-dish. In addition to this, take care to remove the dead rodents and clear the place so that other rodents do not see their prints. In this area 40 % of people uses this method since last 5 years
