The product? Pepsi or Coca-Cola.   Agricultural scientists give them some backing - they say the high  sugar content of the drinks can make them effective in combating pests.  Farmers in the Durg, Rajnandgaon and Dhamtari districts of Chhattisgarh  say they have successfully used Pepsi and Coke to protect their rice  plantations against pests.  “All that is happening is that  plants get a direct supply of carbohydrates and sugar which in turn  boosts the plants' immunity” -Sanket Thakur, agricultural scientist  It is a trend that has been seen in other parts of India, with farmers  also using Indian brands of colas. The practice of using soft drinks in  lieu of pesticides, which are 10 times more expensive, is gaining so  much popularity that sales of the drinks have increased drastically in  remote villages. Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi have a pH below 3 and a  positive ORP running around +250mV, making these so-called beverages a  strong acid and toxic to humans, animals and insects.  More info: <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3977351.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3977351.stm</a> & <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000590_Coke_Pepsi_pesticides.html" target="_blank">http://www.naturalnews.com/News_000590_Coke_Pepsi_pesticides.html</a></blockquote>
