| Details Of Innovation | To prevent mite infestation disease in the grape (Vitis vinifera) crop, use cow urine or tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) extract, which is sprinkled on the vines. Another method is to sprinkle the wood ash in the leaves of vine creeper early in the morning hours, when the leaves have dew on them. In order to arrest the attack of the mites on plant, plant the "maruthi" and toothache (Spilanthes acmella) plant near the grape vines. Moreover, application of mahua cake (Madhuca indica) in the root zone of the vine creepers protects the crop from the mite infestation. |

| PAS 4 | "Mentha (mint) is one of the most common herb which has been known for its medicinal and aromotherapeutic properties since ancient times and in the last few decades, its insecticidal potential has also been investigated. The present review consolidates studies concerning insecticidal activity of Mentha against various stored grain pests and vectors. Insecticidal properties of different Mentha species are commonly inherent in its essential oils or plant extracts which is correlated with their chemical composition. Insect/pest control potential of various Mentha species has been evaluated by conducting adulticidal, larvicidal and growth/reproduction inhibition bioassays. Fumigant and repellent activity of Mentha essential oil has been studied against several stored grain pests (Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus oryzae, Acanthoscelides obtectus, etc.) and vectors. Nevertheless, studies exploring larvicidal and growth/reproduction regulatory activity of Mentha, are relatively less. Among the vectors, mosquitocidal activity of several Mentha essential oils and their constituents is established. However, the studies directed towards formulation or product development and performance assessment in actual field conditions are lacking. Hence, although a ground has been set based on the lab scale research investigations, field studies on these aspects are warranted to ensure wide scale application."

| Other Community Practices | "Because of its high biological activities, EO from Mentha spicata may be used for the development of new formulations of nutraceutical products for the management of chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and overweight. M. spicata EO can fulfill the growing demand of industries for constant and good raw natural sources of antidermatophytic, anticholinesterase, and antiobesity agents that could be safer than synthetic drugs. To attain the optimum oil yield with a high quantity and content of OMs (particularly carvone), M. spicata should be extracted when the plants are in full bloom."
