| Abstract: | Indigenous pest management practices were used before the
arrival of chemical pest management. These were location and pest specific and
cheap. With those practices, farmers would manage pests effectively without
deteriorating environment. These practices could be very important if
incorporated into integrated pest management research to enrich the research
process and make it more relevant for the farmers. For this to happen, their
documentation and scientific testing is necessary. In Uttarakhand hills,
farmers are still managing pests with indigenous methods. Due to the prevalence
of traditional system of farming, there are many chances of finding indigenous
pest management practices. The study identifies various indigenous pest
management practices and scientific basis of practicing them. |
