| Details of Innovation | Muljibhai Patel is a 60 year old farmer staying in Kabhaina Na Muwada village of Kapadwanj talukain the Kheda district of Gujarat. He suggests the use of kharasdi or phyllantho urinaria for protection of vegetables and other crops from worms. Local villagers know this insect as krumi. This insects attack the crops after they are two to three months old. The insects spread underground and eat away the roots. The stems turn black and dry up. Muljibhai Patel plants kharasdi or phyllantho urinaria around the affected plant to protect them from termites. He has known this traditional method for 40 years and learnt it from Punjahai Becharbhai who is no more. He had tried this method for mangoes, chickoo and berries. Other farmers who have used this method: Govindbhai Dharmabhai Patel, Ramanbhai Haribhai Patel and Ganpatbhai Ramanbhai Patel. |
