Details Of Innovation	In ivy gourd (Coccinia indica) creepers, the knots/tumors are observed on one month old crop . Inside these tumors, small insects are observed that suck the sap and nutrients . As a result, growth of plant is retarded and it turns yellow. As a cure, mix some water and 10 g asafoetida (Ferula assafoetida). Then, with the help of needle, make a hole in the tumor and add this prepared formulation into it. This mixture will control the infestation of white larvae inside the hole. This practice provides good result and the crop is benefited.
