Watershed Organization Trust (WOTR) started its 20th year by disseminating local weather specific agro-advisories by SMS to farmers under its Climate Change Adaptation project. WOTR’s first local weather specific agro-advisory was sent out at 5.14 pm on December 20, 2012 for the tomato growers of Warudhi Pathar and Sarole Pathar, Sangamner Taluka, for the control of red mites. The SMS advised the farmers to spray neem seed kernel extract (NSKE) to control the pesky mites which are the bane of every tomato farmer.
