| Details of Innovation | One month after plantation, insects infect the root and rot the bottlegourd plant. The trunk and roots of the rotting plant become white and black. Before it is too late, pour buttermilk at the root of bottle gourd (Lagenaria leucantha) plants. Rainy season is the appropriate time to do it. Put buttermilk in the roots of bottlegourd after the fertiliser or manure has been added to the pits. Buttermilk works like fertiliser and medicine. Jivabhai Khadabhai has long been using this method. |
