How farmers can use ducks to control pests

Two weeks ago, I highlighted the effects of 16 per cent VAT on farmers and how they can cope with effects of increased cost of chemical pesticides. One such coping mechanism was the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). One rice farmer with a burning desire to produce high quality rice with minimal chemicals wanted to know how practical it is to apply the IPM in rice fields. Today, I will explain how the leading rice producers are using IPM otherwise known as Bottom of Form.
