He sprayed this manually on his cotton crop. Two kilograms were enough for one row. After seven days he sprayed the crop again and to his surprise there were no pests at all in his field, while all neighbouring farmers had lost their entire cotton crop to the pest. He decided to experiment on one bigha of his field. The experiment was carried on for nine years.

PAS 1:

"Utilisation of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) for egg production - 1. The performance of White Leghorn laying hens on diets providing pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) at 300 and 600 g/kg to replace maize, part per part, or “maize mix” isoenergetically and isonitrogenously in the first experiment and at 600 g/kg diet to replace maize in toto, part per part, in the second experiment were examined. In the first experiment, 3 groups of 12 laying hens were placed on each of the 5 dietary treatments for 3 X 28 d, whereas in the second experiment, each of the two diets was offered to 10 groups of 15 laying hens for 6 X 28 d."
