Details of Innovation	A variety of insect pests and disease infest cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crop and drain away the vital sap from all of its parts, especially from its leaves and bolls, thus stunting plant growth. To destroy and control these pests and diseases, 20 ml milk-sap of Indian tree-spurge (Euphorbia neriifolia) is dissolved in 10 L water and then sprayed using three pumps, i.e., 30 L per quarter ha. This drives away all the pests and also controls the disease up to 80%.
