Control Of "Pankori" (Caterpillar) In Crop
About the Practice
For controlling the leaf-eating caterpillar, the innovator prepares a "holy" juice to keep the hopes of the farmer alive. He takes juices of 50 gram holy basil leaves, 500 gram onion, 50 gm agave and adds 10 litres urine of the cow to it. All the juices are thoroughly mixed and the mixed solution is sprayed by the pump. This "holy" treatment shows its effect in a day or two and 70 to 80 per cent control over the caterpillar is brought about.
