Integrated pest Management is a part of ICM. Among the different methods of Integrated Crop Management, application of Biopesticides is the most efficient, reliable, economical and eco-friendly method that farmer can follow easily. VIB has developed a cost effective, scientific and easy to adopt method for the production of biopesticide, Trichoderma, having a great potentiality to be adopt by the rural knowledge workers of our network.
In addition to the biological control measure some mechanical measures are also promoted. A simple, low cost lure based trap for fruit fly is developed here and used in cucurbit crops as well as mango orchards.
