Agriculture Department Distributes Free Organic Pesticide Kits to Karnataka Farmers
Karnataka's agriculture department has begun handing out natural organic pesticide kits to farmers to curb chemical use and safeguard soil health.
The Karnataka agriculture department has launched a programme to distribute free organic pesticide kits to farmers across the state, aiming to reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals.
The kits contain natural, bio‑based ingredients that control pests while preserving soil fertility, supporting the state's push for more sustainable farming practices.
Department officials say the initiative will help lower production costs, improve crop yields and contribute to broader environmental goals. Distribution is being coordinated through local agricultural extension offices.
Farmers are encouraged to adopt the kits and attend accompanying training sessions to maximise benefits.
