| Details Of Innovation | Take five litres of cows urine, the juice of Vitex negundo leaves, one litre juice of Adhatoda Vasica leaves, one litre of a solution formed by diluting 100 grams of Ferula foetida with ten litres of water, and seven litres of water. Dissolve two (double) handfuls (formed by cupping both palms together) of the above essence with ten litres of water and boil till the solution reduces to one litre. Filter this essence and spray 15 litres of the above solution for each acre of land. This herbal insecticide can be used for destroying insects and as a medicine for plant diseases.
