Details Of Innovation	During the rainy season ‘avarai’ (Dolichos lablab -a pulse crop) seeds are dibbled underneath Moringa trees. The growing vine is made to pass through a hole made about one foot above the ground level in the moringa tree, as shown in the figure. Thereafter the hole is plugged with cow dung and kerosene mixture. Due to this the ‘avarai’ yields well. It is a traditional practice followed in this village and other surrounding regions.
