| Details Of Innovation | Insect pests of cotton are found to prefer bhindi (ladyfinger) to the cotton plant. Hence bhindi should be intercropped with cotton. The fruits of bhindi containing larva should be picked out and burnt. At the time of the fruiting of cotton, all bhindi plants must be uprooted so that the pests on them do not migrate to the cotton plant. |
