Details Of Innovation To prevent dropping of flowers, farmer uses coconut water (Cocus nucifera) and milk. These two are mixed together to form a concoction. Thereafter, it is sprinkled at 60th, 75th and 90th day on the chilli (Capsicum annuum) crop. This process effectively reduces dropping of flowers and also it puts weight to induce germination of new buds. It is a traditional practice.

PAS 3 "The virucidal activity of many organic acids against the type species of some viral groups (Herpesvirus, Orthomyxovirus, and Rhabdovirus) has been evaluated.The results thus obtained suggest that the activity of the different chemical compounds essentially depends on the functional groups present in the molecule.Some hypotheses on the way in which organic acids can inhibit cellular infection caused by enveloped viruses are also suggested."
