Pest management in chilli crop using UAL organic based products
Chilli is a multifunctional crop that has many uses, such as food, medicine, and seasoning. However, its production is hampered by insect pests that reduce the yield. Thrips, mites, caterpillars, and whiteflies infest the chilli plants from the seedling stage to the harvest stage, causing severe damage. Farmers resort to chemical pesticides to control these pests, but this leads to harmful effects on the environment and other living beings. Therefore, there is a need for alternative solutions, such as biopesticides, that are safe, reliable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. Biopesticides have proven to be effective in controlling pests and enhancing crop growth.
