Low cost bio-pesticides

[Prabal Sen]

Hello there, can any one suggest me some low cost bio-pesticides for agriculture with special reference to NE India? I am working in the development sector in NE India where there are instances of organic agriculture practice traditionally but rampant pest attacks demoralize the farmers & they resort to applying chemical pesticides in their fields. Number of bio-pesticides are available in the market but the marginalized & poor farmers cannot afford buying those. So I am very much looking forward to someone suggesting some low cost alternative that holds a potential solution to the pest menace.
