Details

Category	Crop Production
Crop	Groundnut
Crop Family	Fabaceae
Scientific Name	(Arachis hypogaea)
Vernacular Name	peanuts, mufali, china badam
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	sour buttermilk
Details Of Innovation	When the groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is sown during monsoons or summer, the plant starts flowering in 20 to 25 days, and pods start forming. If sour buttermilk is sprayed on the crop at this stage, the number of pods increases, boosting production. If the spraying is done with a pump at this time, more yield can be expected per hectare. Naranbhai Shamjibhai Solanki follows this practice to boost his groundnut output.
