Ancient Wisdom: Rajasthan Farmers Use Camel Bones to Combat Millet Pest

• Millet is a vital crop and livelihood for farmers in Rajasthan's desert and semi-desert regions, thriving in low rainfall.
• The 'Karwa' pest poses a significant threat to millet crops, causing rapid damage in fields.
• Historically, farmers used indigenous methods due to lack of modern pesticides, relying on tradition and folk knowledge.
• A unique traditional solution involves burning dry camel bones near millet fields; the smoke and smell repel 'Karwa' insects.
• Experts suggest researching such indigenous methods for sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture, rather than dismissing them as superstition.
