How to Control Pest by Natural Methods

 HOW TO CONTROL PEST BY NATURAL METHODS

Cow urine from indigenous cow breeds is an excellent pest control method. Spray it weekly once as a preventative measure. If you store it in glass bottles for some time the potency will improve. You can keep the bottles in sunlight.

To make a spray solution dilute 20% cow urine and 80% water and spray weekly even if the plants are healthy as a preventative measure.

Neem extract mixed with cow urine is even more effective for pest control.

To prepare the neem extract proceed as follows:

  • Soak 20kg of neem branch bunches in 200l of water
  • Allow this to stand in shade for 4 days
  • Filter and dilute with water 1:1 (it can also be used neat)
Note: If neem leaves are not available you can use 4-5kg of neem oil cake.

You can alternate with the cow urine and neem extract preparations for pest control and for treating all sorts of plant diseases.

Buttermilk can be used with neem extract and cow urine for leaf curl disease.
