| Details of Innovation | Banana is harvested in a fully mature stage. The farmer fills the fruits in a big earthen vessel with paddy straw.

Industrial-grade calcium carbide usually contains traces of arsenic and phosphorus, and, thus, use of this chemical for this purpose is illegal in most countries." http://agritech.tnau.ac.in/horticulture/fruit_ripening.pdf (Dated: 14/5/2020) |
