| Details of Innovation | Even after ten months, banana (Musa paradisiacal) plants appear small. Around this time, it must receive sufficient water. While ensuring water flow, pour a small amount of castor (Ricinus communis) oil. For each acre of banana, pour four-liter castor oil in the channel. This improves the quality and production of the crops substantially, and the plants are not affected by any disease after that. |
