Details

Category	Crop Pest & Disease Management
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Cow dung and the seed coats of rice.
Details Of Innovation	The seed coat of rice is a waste product in rice mills. It should be collected from the rice fields and placed in a heap. A burning piece of dry cow-dung cake is kept on top of the pile of seed coats such that they burn slowly for three days. Then they are kept for cooling. When they are sufficiently cooled, the upper black layer is removed and the white ash inside is dried in the sun. This ash is mixed with seeds to ensure that they are not damaged by insects or moisture.
