A: Avoid using pesticide in kitchen garden. Never apply on leafy vegetables such as coriander, spinach, fenugreek, mustard, radish, garlic etc. If necessary, you may apply malathion 1.5-2.0 ml diluted in a litre of water in crops like brinjal, okra, bitter gourd. Follow a waiting period of 5 days before you harvest/pick fruits. You may apply neem-based insecticide. Pesticides are poisonous; handle with care, and keep them beyond the reach of children. - Dr. MP Srivastava
