My farming teacher who happens to be right here on this platform The Strawberry Farm once taught me about organic pesticides.

Today, I want to pass down the information to you our dear farmer and friend. Hope you pick a lesson or two.

HERBS TO USE AS ORGANIC PESTICIDES ON YOUR CROPS

Home-made organic pesticides should always be sprayed on crops during the cool part of the day (mornings or late afternoons) to avoid burning of your crops.

🟫 Garlic - Crush and mix with hot water- cool for 2hrs, then spray to control aphids.

🟫Tithonia (Mexican sunflower) - Crush 2kg of leaves, soak in 4 litres of warm water for 2-3hours or in cold water for 2 days. Spray to control caterpillars.

🟫 Thorn apple (Datura stramonium) - Take 1kg of leaves, fruits and branch stems, - Crush and boil in 4 litres of water for 20 minutes and let it cool. Spray to control scale insects, aphids and leaf miner (Tuta absoluta).

🟫Pawpaw leaves - Take 1 kg of green and fresh leaves, - crush and boil in 4litres of water for 20 minutes. Spray to control scale insects, aphids.

🟫Wood ash - Get maize combs, burn them and dry the ash. This should be applied around the plants especially the transplanted vegetable seedlings, to control cut worms in fields where cut worms are a problem.

🟫Hot pepper - Crush 500 grams of riped hot pepper fruits, mix with 5 litres of water, boil for 20 minutes. Sieve and add another 5 litres of water mixed with 50ml of any mild dish wash (non-detergent) soap - Spray to control ants (termites), aphids, flies, caterpillars.

🟫Lantana camara - Get branches and leaves, burn to get the ash- broadcast in the field or affected area to control ants and worms.

Irrigation Tips

🟫Use efficient irrigation systems: Consider using drip irrigation or micro-sprinklers instead of traditional overhead sprinklers. These systems deliver water directly to the plant roots, minimizing water loss through evaporation.

🟫Schedule irrigation wisely: Water your crops during the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler and evaporation rates are lower. This helps to maximize water absorption by the plants and reduces water loss.

🟫 Monitor soil moisture: Regularly check the moisture levels in your soil to avoid over or under-watering. Use moisture sensors or simple techniques like sticking your finger into the soil to determine if it's time to irrigate.

🟫 Mulch your crops: Apply a layer of organic mulch around your plants to help retain soil moisture. Mulch acts as a barrier, reducing evaporation and w**d growth, while also improving soil structure.

🟫Implement water-saving techniques: Consider using techniques like rainwater harvesting, where you collect and store rainwater for irrigation purposes. Additionally, using water-efficient irrigation nozzles and adjusting irrigation schedules based on weather conditions can help conserve water.

🟫. Practice crop rotation and companion planting: By rotating crops and planting compatible species together, you can optimize water usage. Some plants have different water requirements, and by grouping them strategically, you can avoid overwatering certain areas.

🟫 Improve soil quality: Healthy soil retains water better. Enhance your soil's organic matter content by adding compost or organic fertilizers. This improves soil structure, allowing it to hold more water and reducing the need for frequent irrigation.

🟫 Monitor and repair leaks: Regularly inspect your irrigation system for leaks or damaged pipes. Even small leaks can result in significant water wastage over time, so fixing them promptly is necessary.
