Ingredients	groundnut pods
Details Of Innovation	The following sets off several aspects of sowing groundnut pods aganist sowing groundnut seeds:SOWING OF GROUNDNUT SEEDS: 1 For one bigha of land, 20 kg. of seeds are required. 2 The expense incurred is more, the seeds are mixed with chemical input before sowing. 3 Shoots appears after 8 days. 4 The distance between rows is sometimes not maintained uniformly. 5 The sowing is done after the field is irrigated. 6 Sowing is done after rains. 7 Seeds may sometimes be eaten by birds. 8 While sowing some empty spaces are left. 9 The yield per bigha is 15 to 18 maunds.(1maund=20 kg) SOWING OF GROUNDNUT PODS: 1 For one bigha of land, 15 kg.s of pods area‚ required. 2 The expense incurred is less. 3Ã‚ Shoots appear after 10 days. 4 As the sowing is done by hand, the distance between rows can always be maintained. 5 The sowing is done first and the field is irrigated later. 6 Sowing is done before rains. 7 Birds do not eat the pods. 8 As the pods are sown individually, no empty spaces remains. 9 The yield per bigha is 19-20 maunds.(1 maund=20kg).

PAS 3	"Results of current study, as the first study on insecticidal and repellent activity of mentioned essential oils against Culex theileri Theobald, show considerable values of insecticidal and repellent activity against mosquitoes, concentration of one (undiluted extract) had the highest insecticidal and repellent activity against Culex theileri Theobald for both of essential oils and essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus (66% insecticidal and 74% repellent activity) was more potent than Zingiber officinale (45% insecticidal and 61% repellent activity)" [Madreseh-Ghahfarokhi S, Pirali Y, Dehghani-Samani A, Dehghani-Samani A.
