Ingredients Manure of cock.
Details of Innovation Before sowing cotton seeds, at equal sowable distance, add manure of cocks, i.e., sprinkle in the lanes and on the land manually. This will improve crop yield. For every plant, about 4 to 5 kilograms more balls are seen. There is no side-effect to this practice. The farmer developed this method on his own based on experience and observation. While experimenting, he first added the manure of cock to two-three plants of cotton, and witnessed an increase in growth.
