| Details of Innovation | To increase the production in grapes (Vitis vinifera) and banana (Musa paradisiaca) crop, 50 g sugar, 100 g ghee, 200 g honey, 400 g curd and 800 g milk are mixed together in the soil, which increases its fertility. If the suspension is sprayed on the crops, then it will increase the resistance power of the respective crop. According to the farmers, if the separated twigs and leaves of grapes are placed on the trunk of that crop, they will increase the production of grapes and their sweetness, thus, fetching high market value. By the use of this method, banana crop grows well and hence we get 30 kilogram bunch of banana. |

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 |
