BEST PESTLessons are mugged up for passing exams. Definitions and formulae are learnt by heart to scorehigh marks in the tests. Often the lessons have nothing to do with real life. There is often no linkbetween what is taught in science and the needs of the community. But this need not always be so.An enlightened village science teacher in Andhra Pradesh got hold of an old mosquito net. Withwire hoops and pieces of net he made a butterfly net for every child. Each child was allocated aparticular small patch of the village paddy field. While coming to school the children had to oncescoop the butterfly net through the paddy field. They had to bring their booty of insect pests to theschool.In the school the children separated and sorted out the various insects. They counted the insectsand tried to know their names. They plotted a daily chart giving the number of insects foundeveryday. This simple bar diagram, would tell them about the increase or decrease in the insectpopulation. It was like a frequency count. It would give them some inkling of the pest menace.When is the pest population at the maximum? What would be the best time to spray the fields withpesticide?Children learnt a lot about insect pests and their plant hosts. Which insects attacked the paddyfields? Which insects attacked the black gram and ragi fields? Which was the best way to managethe pests? Would a solution made of crushed tobacco leaves, or of neem leaves work on aparticular pest?A conscious teacher was able to inspire the students to learn science from real life. The childrenwere learning relevant science in a very interesting way. Not only were they doing great science butthey were also helping the community in combating the pests for a sustainable livelihood.
