Sarodee Boruah, Sanjoy Borthakur, Mouchumi Neog · 2020 · International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences

Summary. Indigenous technological knowledge offers effective, chemical-free alternatives for managing agricultural pests and diseases. The paper documents traditional practices used by farmers in India's northeastern states, showing these methods are environmentally safe and compatible with organic farming. As urbanization threatens the loss of these practices, the authors argue for systematic collection, documentation, and scientific validation of indigenous knowledge to preserve sustainable pest management techniques.
