3-Reduction in the use of pesticides:

Due to the dissemination of IPM technology and theawareness given through ToF & FFS, many growers ofdistrict Sanghar have reduced the use of chemicalpesticides on cotton by 20-30%.

Even some growers have received 15-20 mds/acre cottonyield without using any chemical pesticides. They usuallyused neem oil, kerosene oil, detergent and extract oftobacco leaves against harmful insects.
