Ingredients	Bones of dead animals
Details Of Innovation	Uses the traditional technique of burying dead animals in the citrus root area for increasing the yield of fruits. This is so because sometimes the lime tree sheds flowers and hence does not yield fruit. In such a case, the general practice of people is to bury dead pandicoots in the root zone of the lime tree. But Bhikalal hides the bones of a dead animal under the stem of the lemon tree (Citrus lemon). Thereafter, the flowers stick and the tree bears fruit!
