1. COMMON FIRES It is practice which is done in the field to control pupa and butterflies. At the time of beginning of monsoon it is done in the evening 4to5 farmers in their field at same time for 2 hours they collect the farm residues and set fire it will attract the butterflies and also control the pupas.

2.DEEP SUMMER PLOUGHS: To control the holistic pest pupas plough the soil in summer. Pupas are hibernate in the soil . These deep summer ploughs will open the soil and pupas are exposed to sun they will die. It is an affective method of control of pupas. Rajavardhan Gandla

3. LIGHT TRAPS Light traps, with or without ultraviolet light, attract certain insects. Light sources may include fluorescent lamps, mercury-vapor lamps, black lights, or light-emitting diodes. Designs differ according to the behavior of the insects being targeted. Light traps are widely used to survey nocturnal moths. Total species richness and abundance of trapped moths may be influenced by several factors such as night temperature, humidity and lamp type. Grasshoppers and some beetles are attracted to lights at a long range but are repelled by it at short range. Farrow's light trap has a large base so that it captures insects that may otherwise fly away from regular light traps. Light traps can attract flying and terrestrial insects Rajavardhan Gandla

4.SEED TREATMENT Seed treatment is the precise application of biological organisms, products and/or chemical ingredients to seed to suppress, control, or repel plant pathogens, insects, or other pests that attack seeds, seedlings or plants. Rajavardhan Gandla

5.PROTECTIVE CROPS: In this method they go for sowing of maize, bajra in farm bunds in three rows. It will control the movement of pest into fields. It will also control the chemical residues incidence in the field which sprayed in another field. We can use marry gold and other flower crops as a protective crop. Rajavardhan Gandla
6.TRAP CROPS: A trap crop is a plant that attracts agricultural pests, usually insects, away from nearby crops. This form of companion planting can save the main crop from decimation by pests without the use of pesticides. While many trap crops have successfully diverted pests off of focal crops in small scale greenhouse, garden and field experiments, only a small portion of these plants have been shown to reduce pest damage at larger commercial scales. A common explanation for reported trap cropping failures, is that attractive trap plants only protect nearby plants if the insects do not move back into the main crop Rajavardhan Gandla

Examples of trap crops include: ï‚· Alfalfa planted in strips among cotton, to draw away lygus bugs, while castor beans surround the field, or tobacco is planted in strips among it, to protect from the budworm Heliothis .[citation needed] ï‚· Rose enthusiasts often plant Pelargonium geraniums among their rosebushes because Japanese beetles are drawn to the geraniums, which are toxic to them.[5] ï‚· Chervil is used by gardeners to protect vegetable plants from slugs.[ citation needed] ï‚· Rye, sesbania , and sicklepod are used to protect soybeans from corn seeding maggots, stink bugs, and velvet green caterpillars, respectively Rajavardhan Gandla

7. pheromone trap A pheromone trap is a type of insect trap that uses pheromones to lure insects. Sex pheromones and aggregating pheromones are the most common types used. A pheromone-impregnated lure, as the red rubber septa in the picture, is encased in a conventional trap such as a bottle trap, Delta trap, water-pan trap, or funnel trap. Pheromone traps are used both to count insect populations by sampling, and to trap pests such as clothes moths to destroy them. Rajavardhan Gandla
