Pest management: Traditional Indian Knowledge | Dr Prabhakar Rao |

Main talk link:    • Natural Farming: Ancient Wisdom Defeats Mo...   About the talk: India is blessed with Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) that dates back over 5000 years in the field of agriculture. Dr Rao has been exploring ancient texts like Krishi Parasara and Vriksha Ayurveda for solutions to pressing problems in agriculture today. This paper explores the holistic philosophy of our ancients in terms of agriculture and how co-existence and not conflict was the basis of their understanding in relation to pests and weeds. Dr Rao explores this TEK in seeking sustainable solutions for integrated pest management. Use of desi cow urine in extracting alkaloids that have pest repellent properties and the way pests are classified by the ancients make a compelling case for their revival today.
