Indigenous technical knowledge of Assam for pests management – Exploit potential in organic agriculture
Summary. A survey of 500 farmers in Assam's Brahmaputra valley zones found that only 22% fully practice indigenous pest management techniques, though 48% know about them. Researchers documented 30 different indigenous technologies across rice, pulses, tubers, vegetables, and fruits. The study suggests validating these traditional methods could strengthen organic farming in the region.
