Description of the SLM Technology
Short description of the Technology
Using environmentally friendly phytopesticides, made from natural plant extracts to help combat pests and diseases.
Detailed description of the Technology
Phytopesticides are made mainly from plants, including; potatoes, onions or tomato stalks as well as from garlic, pepper, dandelion, common wormwood and thorn apple extracts. Other biological pesticides can be produced from ash or soap. Phytopesticides can be stored for up to a year.
Purpose of the Technology: The overall goal of phytopesticides is to combat pests and diseases, using an environmentally friendly, natural method without the need for chemical pesticides. They do not affect the surrounding flora and fauna and preserve biological organisms in the soil.
Establishment / maintenance activities and inputs: This is an easy-to-use and low-cost technology, which mainly requires the collection and drying of plant parts to make the pesticides.
Natural / human environment: The technology can be used in any environment during the growing period. The technology is currently used in arid zones in the South of Tajikistan, in Dehkan farms as well as on other farmlands.
