Traditional methods of pest control practiced by the tribal communities of satpuda and ajanta hills in Maharashtra
The Kenya Tribal groups living in the Satpuda and Ajanta hill areas of northern Maharashtra, such as the Bhil, Pawara, Koli Malhar, Tokre Koli, Pardhi, Gavit and their smaller groups, have been farming for many years using traditional knowledge that is good for the environment, inexpensive, and part of their culture. This paper looks at how these communities manage pests in five districts: Jalgaon, Dhule, Nandurbar, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and Jalna.
