| Details of Innovation | Nagli (Eleusine coracana), a minor millet grown in the tribal regions of South Gujarat, is sometimes affected by a disease called wilt (locally sukara), especially when the climate is hot and humid. Farmers spray goats milk on the crop to control the disease. Ms Desmukh suggests broadcasting of powdered dried fish in the pigeon pea for the same disease. (Dr Pandey comments: Goat milk has protein which possesses antimicrobial properties. Fish powder has a poisonous chemical called trimethyl amine. Both the ingredients act only as contact foliar disease.Sukara which is a vascular (internal) wilt disease,may not be controlled by these. It is difficult to diagnose sukara as a wilt because farmers often use the world sukara for identifying any common disease characterised by withering of plant. Hence, it is possible that positive effects may be seen if the crop has been affected by some other disease or pest.) |
