Details
Category	Crop Production
Crop	wheat

Scientific Name	(Triticum aestivum)
Vernacular Name	Gehun
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Donkey urine
Details of Innovation	(This method was rechecked in December 2003. Mix 500 grams of donkeys urine for every 20 kilograms of triticum aestivum seeds, before sowing them. Dry the same and then sow them.The triticum aestivum crops will not be affected by termites. This method has been used five years ago, but has been known for twenty years. It has been learnt from elders. When donkey urinates that place immediately becomes white, based on which this idea emerged. Since the farm does not have water cultivation of wheat is not being done for the past five years.
