Details Of Innovation	Nareshbhai Chaudhary from Gujarat believes in biodiversity. He employs a simple method to prevent insect attacks on mango (Mangifera indica) crop. He grows a couple of holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) plants underneath each tree. Due to this, insects like aphid, whitefly, jassid, fruit fly, and others do not attack the mango tree but instead frequent the basil plants. As the basil attracts all kinds of insects, Nareshbhai sprays insecticide on these plants and thus saves the mango crop from insect infestation. He sprays the insecticide only in the morning for maximum benefit. Nareshbhai got the idea based on his discussions with village elders and farmers. and then employed it on his mango orchard. (Abdulla Pathan rechecked this practice in May 2004)
