| Crop | Chilli |
| Crop Family | Solanaceae |
| Scientific Name | (Capsicum annum) |
| Vernacular Name | Mirch, Lunka, Marchu |
| Scout | HBN |
| Ingredients | Coriander or garlic as intercrops |
| Details of Innovation | Coriander or garlic is inter-sown with chilli seedlings to avoid attack by thrips or woodworms. The coriander plants adjacent to chilli plants are plucked and sold as green vegetables, while the coriander grown on the bunds are harvested for seed purpose. As the coriander plants are plucked regularly, they do not compete for water/nutrition from soil. Thus this practice does not affect the chilli yield. |
