Strategically Treat Contaminated Areas

What happens here

The farmer demonstrates this by treating a stump, which the cattle use as a scratching post, with neem oil. This localized treatment helps address the pest issue directly where the animals interact with it most. In a garden, this principle translates to targeting specific plants or areas heavily affected by pests. For example, if aphids are concentrated on new growth, apply treatment only to those affected shoots, rather than the entire plant or garden, conserving resources and minimizing environmental impact.

Goal: Focus treatment efforts on specific areas where pests congregate, such as scratching posts for animals or heavily infested spots in a garden.
