Details of Innovation	Bores hole in (Dossyppium herbaceorm). caused more damage in winter seaseon Due to more mostion possibility Ricinus communis) if insecdtr take two meters of plastice sheet apply caster oil or oil on such sheet two peson have to hold one side ofr the sheetand more betwen rows of crops so that the insect will stick with one leaf to other to other they stick to sheet and this white flies ar destoryed 50 to70 % of insects can be destroyed and there is direst effect on insects because they stick to aheet and get destoryed. Normal0 Bores hole in _________of cotton (Gossypium aerbacem) causesmore damage in winter season. Due to more moisture, possibility of insectsincreases.Take two meters of plastic sheet. Apply castor(Ricinus communis) oil or oil on such sheet. Tow persons have to hold one sideof the sheet and more between rows of crops. So that the insects will stickwith the sheet. When the insects fly in the air from one leaf to other theystick to sheet and thus while fillies are destroyed. Fifty to seventy percentof insects can be destroyed and there is direct effect on insects because theystick to sheet and get destroy.
