Mr. Manilal Yadav from Rajasthan has developed the herbal preparation for control of pest in agricultural crops.
Targeted pest: Agriculture pests
Targeted crop:  All crop
Ingredients: Azadirachta indica A.Juss., Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T.Aiton, Allium cepa L., Nicotiana tabacum L., Jatropha curcas L., Justicia adhatoda L., Vachellia nilotica (L.) P.J.H.Hurter & Mabb., Jaggery, Buttermilk, Cow urine
Methodology:  For preparing formulation, he mixes all above plants and plant parts with decomposed jaggery, buttermilk and cow urine. Leave it for 10-15 days for fermentation. Take one litre of formulation and mix it with 10 litres of water and spray on the agricultural crop to control the pests.
