Indian farmers have come up with what they think is the real thing to keep crops free of bugs.
[...]
Instead of paying hefty fees to international chemical companies for patented pesticides, they are reportedly spraying their cotton and chilli fields with Coca-Cola.
[...]
One litre of highly concentrated Avant, Tracer and Nuvocron, three popular Indian pesticides, costs around 10,000 rupees (�120), but one-and-a-half litres of locally made Coca-Cola is 30 rupees. To spray an acre would be a mere 270 rupees.
[...]
The farmers also swear by Pepsi, Thums Up, and other local soft drinks.
