IISR Develops Bio-Pesticide to Protect Cardamom Crops

IISR Develops Bio-Pesticide to Protect Cardamom Crops

Scientists at IISR have created a special bug spray to protect cardamom plants from tiny pests called thrips.

These pests damage the plants and reduce how much cardamom farmers can harvest.

The new spray is made from a natural fungus that kills the thrips.

It works as well as the usual chemical sprays, but it's safer for the environment and helps the plants grow better.

The new spray is easy to use and can be mixed with other things, like manure.

It's a good alternative to harmful chemicals, helping farmers and the environment.
