PEST CONTROL

AROMATIC INSECT ATTRACTANTS (AIA)

Method: A

Natural Farming is completely chemical-free and environment-friendly

agriculture. It developed a few methods for pest control such as aromatic insect
attractant (AIA), uorescent insect attractant (FIA) and sh odour method.

Materials / ingredients needed

1 PET bottle (polyethylene normal soft drink bottles)

2 Taddy or Brandy

3 FPJ / FFJ

HOW TO MAKE AIA

Slit open the two sides of a PET bottle.

Put in rice wine and FPJ diluted 300 times. FFJ is best
for attracting insects.

Install at the height of the fruits/leaves that

moths/butter ies like. Install at the time when insects
lay eggs. It is no use once the insects y into the eld
and lay eggs before they drown in the solution.
 The bottles should be hung around the eld, according to the height of
the plants for the vegetables and for the fruit trees 4 to 6 must be hung
according to the size of the tree.

METHOD : B

SETTING UP A FLUORESCENT INSECT ATTRACTANT

Insects are attracted to uorescent lights. If used properly uorescent insect

attractant (FIA) is effective in controlling pests

MATERIALS NEEDED

1 Zinc sheet

2 Fluorescent Light

3 Roo ng

4 Basin full of water

5 Gasoline/ Kerosene

HOW TO MAKE FIA

1 Bend a zinc sheet in an "L" shape.

2 Hang a uorescent light vertically on the corner of the sheet.

3 Make a roof to prevent rain damaging the light.

4 Put a basin full of water beneath the light.

5 Add a few drops of gasoline/ Kerosene in the water to completely drown

the fallen insects.
WHEN TO USE FIA

During the egg-laying season of pestilent insects, AIAand FIA are installed
at the height of fruits or leaves in and around the eld. They are usually
necessary during the peak of the reproductive growth of fruit-bearing
plants and during the height of vegetative growth of leafy vegetables.
