How are you all my friends, I hope that you are all fine and enjoying your selves. Today I am participating in the contest organized by @mainunain the Steem Agro Community. So let's get into it.

I have visited a lot of crop fields but I have observed caterpillar pests in my crop field in my maternal uncle's crop field which is in Pakistan, Bannu. I have observed Green caterpillar pests in my uncle's crop field. I have identified this pest, from holes that caterpillars created. From that I came to know that caterpillars were eating it. But the caterpillar was causing a lot of damage to the crop so removing these caterpillars is mission.

• Personally, I don't have used any of the pesticides which are mentioned above because my maternal uncle has a lot of knowledge about caterpillar pests so he has used Neen Oil for the removal of caterpillar pesticides. Neem oil directly targets the caterpillar. There are a lot of benefits of using Neem oil it doesn't harm or less harm the bees or ladybugs.

• I have used this like I have mixed Neem Oil with water and I have applied this in the form of a spray at night because at night there is no sunlight so it has no chance of affecting the plant. We can also apply this spray in the morning as at that time heir is no sunlight but in me, night nighttime is best.

I can trap insects using a container like a bowl and can add honey to it. Insects like honey so they can attract to it then cover the upper layer with a plastic sheet and make a small hole on it so insects can be trapped in it and if we want to trap the crawling insects then we can add a little bit glue to this paste and when the crawling insects come they can stick to it. Now the trap is ready we should put the trap, where there are alot of insects.

• In the case of vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers Neem oil is very beneficial (bio-chemical) to control pests without harming any useful insects and the compost improves the soil's physical chemical and biological properties.

• In the case of fruits like apples or strawberries Bacillus thuringiensis (bio-chemical) targets a specific pest and the compost improves the soil fertility etc as discussed above.

• Cereals like corn and wheat use diatomaceous earth which is natural and helps in avoiding pests which saves a lot of farmer's money and attract buyers who like organic food.

Common Pesticides in Pakistan:

Ratio of Pesticides in Pakistan:

These are some pesticides that are very common in Pakistan and using each pesticide in true time is beneficial, in a sense like if their are insects in a crop then we should use Intecides.

I would like to invite @goodybest @wakeupkitty and @chant to participate in this contest.
