There are so many ways of controlling insect infestation but most of these options are not entirely eco-friendly, the organic and sustainable pest control strategies that can help farmers are sometimes either too expensive or not easy to come by.

Damages by insect infestation reduce the market values of the vegetables and that's if the vegetables are still edible after that much damage has been done.
