Ladies fingers and PESTS

Ladies fingers is a greeny vegetable full of nutrient facts finely grow in our island. 

For this part of the world, this is not a foreign vegetable. i cannot think of a person or a kid who had not tasted the vegetable.

And this is a vegetable that can be earned fairly a good income, if the farmer deal with it accurately.  

and this vegetable is not a very expensive vegetable compared with the vegetables grown in hill country and imported. it won't take months and months to harvest the yield.

i am not a agriculturalist. therefore my knowledge on these cultivation is very limited. this morning, i noticed some pest issues on the surfaces of the vegetable cultivated by my brother. 

 The pest is a red colour creature. travels through the leaves and all over the tree, vegetable like a busy ant. 

solutions ?

What medication can be applied to solve the issue? 

i know that there are plenty of non-organic treatments are available. but i am very interesting in knowing the organic fertilizer and pesticides for this particular vegetable. 

i think applying organic fertilizer and organic pesticides (bio-pesticides) is the very best solution i can think of. 

The treatment should be begun at land preparation i believe to solve the issue to its best capacity. Nurseries should be well protected from every type of pest issues and when treating the soil, nourishing the soil, rehabilitating the soil. 

when purchasing either plants or seeds advisable to purchase them from the job knowing place (agriculture).  

After plucking the yield the earth, the ground of the cultivation should be well looked after  to avoid hazards in the forth coming season.  

The farmers should consult the agricultural officers in the area , or it is very helpful if the agricultural officers , extensive officers visit the home gardens of the areas to help them and to support and motivate them in their agricultural activities. 

May all beings be healthy!

Clinical wastes and our health

If you think of importing or exporting wastes, especially clinical wastes , for whatever purposes  kindly think of human health. 

What will happen to the lives of the humans who handles clinical wastes such as HIV affected injections cotton wool, etc?

When humans handle those without knowing the danger of what they handle , even if it is their job, such will harm their lives. please think of those things. 

if you have any plans to dump those in any geographic area of the country, please inform the people around the areas, because if you do not inform them, it may affect the lives of the children. As you know, children, they prefer to play here and there of their villages or home grounds.

thank you for reading.  

Legal Arrack and illegal arrack.

I do not think that i can find even any little chap or a lad that doesn't know the difference between the legal alcohol and illegal alcohol. 

They know the places where the elders sell legal alcohol because they sometimes go to school passing such places. i do not know how many of them though along a street, in an urban or semi-urban segments they live. 

In a city, big or small, you can find at least a couple or very more than that number of shops, sells alcohol. recently i noticed that they even showcase the price lists of those brands they import. For a person like me, can live a week from the money that a single person spends to buy a half a bottle of some of those brands  that they import. 

Recently about twelve men died because of the illegal arrack they consumed, after hospitalizing. In the past toddy was the only alcohol that the ceylonies knew. since 1505 and Now they know many names and types that the entrepreneurs . businessmen in the Asia or in the other continents produce. 

The prices of those drinks, needless to say no lower than the prices of illegal drugs, i assume.   

i think illegal arrack is the beverage of the poor. 

Those who cannot afford to pay for the Rum and Vine or Whiskey, they pick the option of consuming illegal arrack. 

Do you think that they consume those type without knowing the consequences of taking illegal arrack. 

Even though the world know that consuming alcohol harms a person's inner organs and harms their social and cultural life, improves disharmony within families and societies, the authorities give licence to manufacture such beverages/drinks and and to sell those, import or to export.

In almost every community and country, there are departments established to deal with arrack business communities ; distillery private limited for instance. 

And i do not know how much a state/government allocates to provide treatment for those who become ill (legally or illegally) due to consuming alcohol. How much money they earn annually from the taxes they pay. 

If a state/government think of implementing they probably can save the money they spend to implant organs. they will not have to pay / issue / donate money for the affected to implant kidneys.

What if you think of introducing a rule, example; to limit the number of bottles that a single person can purchase per month?

I know that it is not easy. why we select governments? to solve the complex issues that we, the citizens cannot solve single handedly. 

Because the governments are the decision makers. 

If the governments decided to follow such mechanism we know what will happen. The entrepreneur/s will have to find another sources of living. And the good governments cannot earn much money or taxes by either issuing licences for the shop openers and or taxes from the sellers, shop-men. 

And the shop-men will have to have to find another job to cater their financial needs. 

Almost every government now and then, issued licence for those who supported them in their political campaigns. No one can say NO.

For sure, the government who take decisions to ban selling legal or illegal arrack in any community-human, probably won't get any votes. But i assume that they might get the votes of the females who suffer due to alcohol habits of their husbands. 

The governments must decide whether they need votes of the consumers of the wives and their children or of the sellers and the importers. 

What are the ways that the various brands that are there to be sold in the shops in towns or in villages, gets the label of 'legal'?

Those manufactures are manufacturing arrack after registering their companies within local legal frameworks. 

The importers import or exporters of arrack/alcohol have the licence to either import or to export alcohol. And most importantly they are tax payers.

But i do not know whether the relevant authorities check or test  the samples of the legal alcohol containers or bottles exhibited in the shops before allowing the relevant individuals to sell them. 

What assurance you have to say that the alcohol containers or comes under certain brands (world know) contains the true product. 

I assume Any person  who has the legal licence to sell alcohol can refill the bottle using illegal arrack and sell them to their ordinary customers, especially for those who do not know the taste or the brand that well. But i do not know whether the authorities have tested or checked such things or have found any evidences or proofs.

The state/ government authorities can think of the margin of harmfulness of consuming legal arrack and illegal arrack and dangerous drugs before deciding what to do next time, for instance introducing new acts or set of rules in the future. 

And wish you all strength to deal with every such issues pertaining to legal or illegal alcohol!

wish you all a healthy life ahead!
