| Details of Innovation | When insects infest in seeds or grains, the grains rot and cannot be used for sowing the next year. For controlling insect infestation in storage, per 100 kg grain, one kilogram powder of dry leaves of tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon) plant and one kilogram powder of custard apple (Annona squamosa) leaves are mixed and stored. By so treating, grains and seeds can be preserved for 2 to 3 years. This is traditional practice in use from the last 25 years. |
