Краткое описание Технологии
The farmers in horticulture are using a biological method to control the efects of pests and diseases ocurring during the harvesting of crops. This biological method implies that a seedextract of Crotalaria striata or Smooth rattlebox, a herbaceous plant, is dissolved in a certain proportion of water. This mixture is then poured around the crops every two weeks. This method does not kill the pests, namely nematodes, but supresses them enough so that the crops can grow well. Another biological pesticide is the use of extracts of tobaccoleaves to kill plant louses.
