Dr. A. Regupathy: NEEM Repellent: An effective tool of Push/Pull strategy for Eco-friendly Pest Management
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 1:45 PM - 3:00 PM
Neem, a naturally occurring botanical oil, is deployed to “push” colonizing insects away from the harvestable crop - a nearby trap crop is left untreated to attract predators or parasitoids into the
area. Pests are thereby aggregated on a sacrificial 'eco-feast/trap' crop in which selective control agents, e.g., NPV, Bt, Trichogramma sp. can be used directly to reduce the pest population.
