| PAS 1 | "Powder one kg tobacco (Nicotianatabacum) and soak it in three litres water in an earthen pot for three days. Then filter it and add 500 ml neem oil. Mix this with soap. Dilute with water and spray the mixture on the cotton crop. It is sufficient for one acre. The results, i.e., good flower and fruit formation and reduced flower dropping, are apparent within a week.” https://honeybee.org/honeybee_detailed.php?ID=8225&page=7&search_case=flower%20drop |

| PAS 3 | "Applying a combination of both organic materials and effective microorganisms resulted in a 44% increase in Cotton yield over control." For more details, see http://blogg.bokashi.se/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/EM-NPK_-Pakistan.pdf |
| PAS 4 | "Using forage turnip as a cover crop provided an increased cotton yield, and this practice can be recommended." http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1807-86212015000100075 |
| PAS 5 | "To prevent it 25 g 'hing' (asafoetida) is powdered and dissolved in one litre of water and sprayed on the crop.” https://honeybee.org/honeybee_detailed.php?ID=4735&page=1&search_case=flower%20drop |
