"Indian farmers use a variety of plant products and extracts for pest control. The most commonly used botanicals are neem (Azadirachta indica), pongamia (Pongamia glabra) and manhua (Madhuca indica). Neem seed kernel extract (2 to 5%) has been found effective against several pests including cutworm, plant hopper, leafhoppers, tobacco caterpillar, and several species of aphids and mites. Mahua seed kernel extract (5%) is effective against sawfly (Athalia lugnes proxima) and others. Root extracts of Targets or Asparagus work as a nematicide for plant parasitic nematodes. Similarly, leaft extracts of many higher plants can inhibit a number of fungal pathogens." https://www.indiaagronet.com/tomato/resources/16/16center.htm |
