| Details Of Innovation | Use of chilli (Capsicum annuum) powder for the control of rodents in the crop. The chilli powder is placed around the periphery of rodent burrow. As a result, whenever the rodent comes out of their burrow, the powder gets into its nose . Thus, the rodents run away restlessly and leave the place. This practice has been in use from many years. |
