Management of pests and diseases can be controlled to minimal levels by

  • Farm sanitation
  • Timely weed control
  • The use of botanicals; the use of neem extracts as antifeedant
  • The use of companion crops
  • The use of protein baits and traps and other bio-degradable substances
Mango orchard management that we had adopted and is working for us.

Farm sanitation

  • to reduce pest invasion
  • to eliminate conducive habitat for pests
  • to reduce competition between crops and weeds for water, sunlight, nutrients, and air

Other ways we manage pests in the orchard and the plantation are the use of

  • Botanica
  • The use of African marigold plant to control nematode
  • The use of trap and companion crops to manage pests
  • The use of tolerant, resistant, and vigorous plant types or varieties to manage pest
  • The use of target-specific accepted agrochemicals, baits, and traps
  • The use of biological agents as natural agents to control other distractive pests

We are benefiting a lot from following good agricultural practices and we welcome all who want to learn and share their experience with us.
