Ingredients soft, chalky red stones
Details of Innovation Innovator Laghiben Kateshiya has observed salty marshes around in the Jamnagar area for 30 years. Interestingly, the farmers there place small pieces of soft and chalky red stones in their fields. They do so because these stones absorb the alkalinity of the soil, thus, reducing it by as much as 75%. Laghiben continues the traditional method.
