Report from P.S. Kadam B.Sc. (Agri) Officer, Agricultural Dept,

Dist: Ratnagiri

I recently visited the Yadnyanagar Homa Farm of Shri Ravindra Wadekar in Talwade village. During the visit I inspected the Cashew Nut crop (which at the moment is in the flowering stage. Following are my observations:

• Cashew Nut crop in Yadnyanagar is totally free of the tea mosquito insect
• Normally this insect is found in every field of Cashew Nut
• To control this insect, normally the farmer has to spray two or three times with strong chemicals such as Cyphermethrin and Monocrotophos
• Even after spraying with these chemicals total control is never achieved
