| Details of Innovation | For the lush growth of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) crop or gardens in general, use one-liter buttermilk, 300-gram paste of aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), and 500-gram leaves of neem (Azadirachta indica). Mix these three ingredients thoroughly in water and keep the solution in a vessel for three to four days. Dilute 100 to 200 milliliters of the solution in a 15-liter pump and spray it on the cotton crop or the garden. This controls cotton pests and plant diseases and helps in plant growth. The practice has no harmful effect. This is a traditional method. |
