| Details Of Innovation | As informed by Sojabhai Chudaasmaa of Sheel village of Mangrol taluka of Junagadh district, very good germination is required to get an increased production in wheat (Triticum aestivum) crop. At germination stage, a thick rope is brought and allowed to move in the standing crop. Due to this method, some of the plants topple down and this facilitates the sprouting of new plants. Thus, high sprouting leads to higher yields. It is a self-developed practice. |
