Prevent those pesky predators
Here is an unbelievable fact. Only 75 per cent of the agricultural produce is actually consumed by human beings in India. The rest goes to rats… literally! If not for rodents, the agricultural produce, profits and also margins could have increased by one-third. Despite wearing an innocuous façade, these little creatures have the capability of multiplying at a rapid rate. Two rodents, if left to themselves, can produce more than a thousand of their kind in a year
. The gang is big enough to gobble up acres of crop, not to think of your tiny garden patch.
There are also other reptiles and insects which are harmful, if not to plants, to human beings. Hence, it is necessary to keep the surroundings clear of rodents and snakes. The issue of rodents and reptiles assumes even more currency now than ever as the city is expanding into its peripheries in the process of becoming ‘greater’. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. Mice have to be cleared before any plant sets its root in the yard. Pest management, with ground preparation, will help control creepy crawlies.
