| Details Of Innovation | To control green in cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) crop, use salt and buttermilk. To prepare medicine, take a pot filled with buttermilk, put salt in it at the ratio of one-liter buttermilk to 50 gms salt, close the pot and keep for 8 to 10 days. After the specific period, filter the mixture and sprinkle this medicine on cotton crop. Ensure that the medicine falls properly in all the plant directions. This medicine will show results within two to three days. It controls crops nowadays. No one uses this method because many medicines are available in the market. The farmer came up with this innovation based on his observation and experience. |
