Innovation Description

leaves-clip-art-leaves-clipNagbhai knew the practice of spraying a local fruit extract in the field to control the leaf curl, insect pest and to enhance the flowering. This knowledge was traditionally handed by his grandfather to his father and then to him. Nagbhai could gather this knowledge as he got involved in farming early in his life.

He used the same formulation and did not change the ingredients of the formulation. But he experimented on standardizing the dose that could be most useful in his 1.6 hectare. This formulation also helps the crops to fight leaf curl and enhances flowering in them.
