Ingredients poultry droppings
Details of Innovation When the lemon (Citrus limon) plant is two years old, Liaquat Hussein Saiyed suggests putting one-kilogram poultry droppings per plant around its base. This will help to spread branches and increase fruit yield in lemon. In 100 plants grown in a lemon farm, putting poultry droppings proved better growth and fruit yield in lemon. All villagers in the Bhavnagar area use this traditional practice.
