Along with the studies, Rahul used to take care of the fields in absence of his father. While working in the field, he used to see different types of insects which damage the crops. He experimented with different kinds of herbs and stumbled upon this particular practice (Pat app no 1606/KOL/2008). For verification, field experiment was facilitated by NIF at Regional Research Station (ICAR) Madhopur, West Champaran and in vitro experiments were conducted at National Center for Integrated pest Management (ICAR) New Delhi, both of which have given encouraging results. RRS-ICAR recorded 30 per cent higher yield during their trials.
