| Details of Innovation | The onion (Allium cepa) transplants are clipped about two inches from the top before planting. After 15 to 20 days of planting, use ash obtained from the pottery kiln in the field. With the application of ash, flowering is inhibited. This ensures onions are bigger and compact. He learned this traditional practice from another farmer. |
