Details of Innovation	Heliothis and spodoptera larvae frequently afflict the crop. They consume the leaves, fruits and cause extensive damage to the crop. To cure this problem, one kilogram garlic (Allium sativum) is pounded and soaked in 200 ml of kerosene overnight. On the second day, two kilogram green chillies (Capsicum annuum) are pounded and mixed well with the above solution by adding two hundred liters of water. This solution is sprayed on the affected crop to control heliothis and spodoptera larvae. As a result, the crop is saved from the infestation.
