He specifies that for effective insect control, the farmer should visit his paddy field after an interval of 15 days and the insect must be killed immediately. In an acre of land the number of insects hardly exceeds 10. He observed and killed only 12 insects in his half hectare of crop. This resulted in easy and effective control of stem borer in organic basmati in eco-friendly and cost effective manner. Classification of the insects in paddy : The insects found in the fields of paddy can be classified into two classes: Vegetarian and non vegetarian. Vegetarian insects destroys/infects stem, pods, leaves even the complete plant of paddy. Whereas, non vegetarian insects eat the eggs and larvae of vegetarian insects. Therefore, the non vegetarian insects are our friends. Mr. Kamboj has a view that there is no chemical still developed which can destroy only the harmful insects. The insect is inactive stage on leaves of paddy before 10 AM. It is at about 30-40 feet distance. Sometimes the insect is at the lower side of leaves therefore one must ensure its presence on both the sides of leaves. Usually the killing of the insect by clapping results in skin allergy therefore it is better to take precautionary measure as gloves, edible oil, etc. After onset of pods in the crops there is no need to control the insect as it is difficult for the insect to penetrate hardened stems of the plants.

Uttarakhand is utilizing 35000 MT of raw materials against total demand of country with production of 95000 MT of country. It contributes 35% Approx total requirement of frozen peas in the country, therefore, Uttarakhand has been recognized as ‘frozen pea hub’ in the country.
State Government liberal policies and farmers/entrepreneurs initiatives have made a tremendous progress in the field of food processing sectors.

A huge quantity of 3000 MT of green peas is sold/processed/transported per day during the peak season. Dramatic change occurred in pea business and farmers are becoming business managing their resources. Uttarakhand is really a beneficiary in food processing sector, due to central/state govt’s liberal policies to provide importance for industry sectors.
