पहिलो र दोस्रो पुस्ताका हाँगाहरुलाई काँटछाँट गरी भाले फूल घटाइ तेस्रो पुस्तामा पोथी फूल बढाएर उत्पादनमा वृद्धि गर्ने तरिकालाइ तेस्रो पुस्ते काटछाँट अथवा 3G कटिंग पनि भनिन्छ।
3G कटिङ लहरे बालीहरु (लौका, पाटे घिरौला, काँक्रो, फर्सि, कुभिण्डो, करेला, चिचिण्डो इत्यादि) मा लोकप्रिय र सफलतापूर्वक अभ्यास गरिने भएता पनि अन्य प्रजातिका बालीहरु (अङ्गुर, खुर्सानी, टमाटर, भान्टा, चिप्ले भिन्डी आदि) मा समेत प्रयोग गरिन्छ।
तिनपुस्ते काटछाँट गर्ने तरिका:
१ – जमिनबाट पहिलो ४–५ पातहरूको उचाइ सम्म, मुख्य काण्डबाट कुनै पनि छेउको हाँगा आउन दिनु हुँदैन।
२ – यदि यो उचाइ भन्दा पहिले मुख्य काण्डबाट कुनै पनि छेउको हाँगा विकसित भयो भने काटेर हटाउन पर्छ।
३ – जब बिरुवा ६–८ फिटको उचाइमा पुग्छ, तपाईंले मुख्य काण्डको बढ्दो टुप्पा काट्नु पर्छ।
४ – मुख्य काँडको टुप्पो काटिएपछि विकास हुने छेउका हाँगाहरू २–३ फिटको भएपछि टुप्पो काटी हटाउन पर्छ।
५ – जब छेउका हाँगाहरूको टुप्पो काटिन्छ, त्यसपछि ठूलो संख्यामा तेस्रो पुस्ताका शाखाहरू विकास हुन्छन् । तेस्रो पुस्तामा पोथी फूल अत्यधिक मात्रामा र भाले फूल कम मात्रामा पाइन्छन् ।

वन्दामा लाग्ने पुतली हानि रहित होला भन्ने लाग्न सक्छ, तर जब यो पुतलीले पातको मूनितिर अन्डा पारेको हप्ता दश दिनमा लार्भा देखा पर्छ। यी लार्भाहरू हानिकारक हुन्छन् र भोका झुसिलेमा परिणत हुन्छन्।
यी झुसिलेलाई निम्न विधिहरूबाट नियन्त्रण गर्न सकिन्छ,
भौतिक नियन्त्रण: आक्रमण गर्न सक्ने क्षेत्रलाई पुतलीको जालीले छोप्ने।
जैविक नियन्त्रण: Bacillus thurigensis (Bt) १ ग्राम प्रति लिटर, हप्तामा ३ पटक प्रयोग गर्ने।
रासायनिक नियन्त्रण: Novan ७५ EC १ मिलि प्रति लिटर, र आक्रमण भएको क्षेत्रमा छर्कने।
Cabbage Butterfly may seem harmless, but it will lay eggs on the undersides of leaves, and after a week or two the larvae will emerge. These larvae are opposite of harmless and instead turn into voracious and destructive green caterpillars.
The caterpillar can be avoided by the following methods;
Physical control: Cover the area with butterfly netting.
Biological control: Using Bacillus thurigensis (Bt) 1 gm per liter, 3 times each week
Chemical control: Using Novan 75 EC 1 ml per liter, and spraying in the area of invasion

Stems of young transplants or seedlings may be severed at soil line due to cutworms. The larvae causing the damage are usually active at night time and hide during the day in the soil at the base of the plants or in plant debris of toppled plant.
If damage or larvae are discovered, it can be physically removed and crushed or dropped into soapy water. It can also be treated by using Chlorpyrifos (CPS) mixed in 2 ml in water.

Poor quality of cattle sheds has not only led to unhygienic conditions, but also led to wastage of rich resources, like urine and dung. Due to the improper construction of sheds, urine and water flow towards the animals and stagnate in pools deteriorating the quality of urine and cattle manure.
PIWAAI’s FYM training aimed at effective management of cattle manure and urine collection by improving the shed floor, thus enabling improved soil health and plant protection through use of good quality FYM and cattle urine. The farmers in all three municipalities were supported to improve cattle sheds along with the construction of urine collection. A subsidy per farmer was provided for labor cost to support for the construction.
Before the training, farmers were adopting traditional methods of composting; collecting cattle dung in small heaps in an unmanaged way, which was then left in direct contact of sunlight and rain. Cattle urine collection was not practiced, and it normally infiltrated from the shed floor, as the floor was not cemented. With this simple intervention, the project hopes to produce a multiplier effect in the village with other farmers adopting the improved practices as well.

ईटबुट्टे पुतली (DBM) को लार्भाले बिरुवालाई क्षति पुर्याउँछ। लार्भा धेरै साना भए तापनि, तिनीहरू धेरै संख्यामा हुन सक्छन्। ईटबुट्टे पुतलीको प्रभावकारी व्यवस्थापन र नियन्त्रण सांस्कृतिक, जैविक र रासायनिक विधिहरूको संयोजनमा गर्न सकिन्छ। रासायनिक कीटनाशकहरू जस्तै स्पिनोसाड र इमामेक्टिन बेन्जोएट रासायनिक नियन्त्रणको लागि प्रयोग गरि घुम्ते बालि प्रविधी पनि प्रयोग गर्न सकिन्छ। Trichogramma pretiosum जस्ता प्राकृतिक शत्रुहरूले ईटबुट्टे पुतलीलाई जैविक रूपमा नियन्त्रण पनि गर्छन्।
Plant damage is caused by larval feeding of the Diamond Back Moth (DBM). Although the larvae are very small, they can be quite numerous, resulting in complete removal of foliar tissue except for the leaf veins. This is particularly damaging to seedlings, and may disrupt head formation in cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Effective management, and control of DMB can be done by an integrated approach, combining cultural, biological and chemical methods. Chemical pesticides like Spinosad and Emamectin Benzoate can be used for chemical control while crop rotation can be applied as well. Natural enemies like Trichogramma pretiosum often control diamondback moth biologically.

For the people in Dadakateri, gaining access to healthy and affordable food was a great challenge until PIWAAI built tap stands in each household in the community. Water in the community changed the lifestyle of the people in Dadakateri and it even changed eating behaviors and food habits.
