Details of Innovation	Thor/Cactus (Euphorbia nerifolia) has many varieties. Generally, the Thor grows in sandy and less humid land. For the practice mentioned here, the thor used is of a local variety known as bhumbhalo thor. Thor milk works well in the control of termite, fungus, bacteria, etc., in various crops like wheat, cotton, castor, pigeon pea, moong. Except for groundnut, this could be useful to almost all crops. Thor milk treatment ensures growth in graft and seeds. Thor milk is very effective in controlling insects in many crops. This experiment was performed on the pomegranate tree, where 60% of the trees were not given any treatment, and the difference was clear: trees, which were treated with the milk of thor, had grown well and were not attacked by termite or fungus. For graft growth and the development of roots, people generally resort to the chemical-based IndoButachlor Acid.
