Details of Innovation	First of all, we have to see in which pattern the cumin (Cuminum cyminum) crop is planted. According to that pattern, rope is taken. In this rope, strip of cotton cloth is rounded. Now, this rope is ready to remove dew drops from the cumin crop. To cure this problem, two persons are required. These two people will hold the rope from both the corners and walk in the cumin field touching the rope. The dew drops on the top of plant get absorbed by cotton cloth or fall down on the ground and thus, the crop will be saved . This process is followed early in the morning hours before the sun rises. Innovator has been using this practice from many years.
