    Ramesh Delampady Use of insecticide may be a slow poisoning for the living being.But how many consumers would prefer to purchase not good looking ,pest infected vegetables ,that too giving higher price?

    Mahesha Prasad Neerkaje ‎Ramesh Delampady : You mentioned about 'not good looking ,pest infected vegetables ,that too giving higher price'.... I was talking about that. Not rubber and Areca. For Rubber and Areca, organic methods have proved equally good or better than chemical practices.

    Ramesh Delampady I am not into any argument.But the facts tell other things.Even in our house only a few persons may prefer pest infected vegetables to insecticide sprayed one.There is a tall talk about organic.Here too the fact is that very few persons are really a true organic farmer.Most of the highly published organic farmers are merchants{sorry ,if I used harsh words].Organic farming is costlier than inorganic farming.And the worst thing is that organic farming is highly labour dependent,which most of us can't afford.

    Mahesha Prasad Neerkaje ‎Ramesh Delampady : {in our house only a few persons may prefer pest infected vegetables to insecticide sprayed one} This is something strange. One cant help people who prefer poison over less attractive food. Its all in mind. Where there is a will, there is a way. I have been using the so called pest infected fruits and vegetables since more than a year now. I buy from near by organic shop. I can clearly see sea changes between the taste of organic spinach and poison sprayed spinach. Same with beetroot etc. Also I can grasp the taste difference between normal bleached bella (jaggery) and organic jaggery, between polished Dal and un polished Dal.
