Detail:

Aphids are observed more abundantly in the wintry weather of December to January. The small insects draw sap from plants and make it die prematurely. To control the aphids in crop of radish (Raphanus sativus), 500 g waste of ripe cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and 250 g powder of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaves are mixed together and boiled in 1 L water. After the decoction has cooled, it is filtered and 10 L water is added. Finally, the solution is stirred and filled in pumps and sprayed. The result can be seen in 24 hours and the insects are destroyed completely in four days. The farmer is using the method for 25-30 years.
