Experts say that even though the use of chemical pesticides can't be totally checked, its harmful effects can be minimised to a great extent by use of natural pesticides like neem cakes, educating farmers and introducing a proper monitoring system.
The NIN scientist, Dr Padmaja Rambabu, who has undertaken a project to educate farm women to minimise the use of pesticide at the farm and household levels, said, “Farmers should be continuously made aware of the proper use of pesticides, in the right dose and the right type, and should be encouraged to use natural pest-control measures. The government should also provide protective kits to the cultivators. Those having space in their homes can grow a kitchen garden.”
