Indigenous agricultural storage and pest management of Northeast India

Abstract

Since time immemorial, the indigenous method of pest and storage management has been regarded as one of the most essential traditional methods for many indigenous communities all over. Traditional methods for food grain production and conservation have been successfully used by indigenous populations using locally accessible resources. This review study thus highlights 30 such traditional practices adopted by indigenous communities in the north-eastern part of India gathered from diverse secondary sources. These traditions have highlighted the indigenous people's enormous inventiveness in a very simple way, as demonstrated by their excellent usage of natural resources.
