Ingredients Excreta of hens.
Details of Innovation To get more spread of lemon tree, when plants are two years old, put in one kilogram of excreta of hens per one plant of lemon by digging a pit around the plants. The spread of tree lemons will increase, and the plant will not suffer. The farmer mastered this technique on his land. He did not incur additional expenses to get hen's excreta. There are no damages either to soil or plants. The farmer said, "Once we had cultivated 100 trees of lemon at a stretch, our hens were just below the trees, and their excreta was used. After that three to four years, I realized that there are more branches to the lemon tree, and fewer flowers, and these we attributed to hen's excreta, and hence we did this experiment.
