| Details of Innovation | Indian beech (Pongamia pinnata) leaves, vasaka (Adhatoda vasica) leaves. Worms and hairy caterpillars that infest leaves of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) later bore into pods and severely affect yield. According to Vankar, up to 70 to 80 per cent control of worms is achieved with a traditional method in vogue in Sabarkantha region since more than 40 years. In a vessel containing 10 litre water, add leaves of Indian beech (Pongamia pinnata) 5 kilograms and vasaka (Adhatoda vasica) 5 kilograms. Heat till half of the water is boiled off. Allow to cool. Take one litre of the concentrate in a 15-litre tank and top the tank with water. Spraying the solution over the crop once gets rid of the pod-boring caterpillars and worms. If this does not yield desired results, repeat the spray after eight days and that will remove all traces of the deadly worms. |
