Details of Innovation	First of all we have to see in, which pattern the cumin (Cuminum cyminum) crop is planted and according to that pattern rope is taken. In this rope, stripe of cotton cloth is rounded. Now, this rope is ready for the removal of dew drops from the cumin crop. To cure this problem, two persons are required. These two persons will hold the rope from both the corner and walked in the cumin field. One should walk in that manner as the plant should touch the rope. The dew drop, which is on the top of plant gets absorbed by cotton cloth or it will fall down on the ground and thus, the crop is saved of the problem. This process is followed early in the morning hours before the sun rise. Innovator is using this practice from many years.
