Details of Innovation	Ripening of Mangoes by Natural Method In earlier days, mangoes were riped by neem leaves. In this method, neem leaves are spread over the floor and mangoes are placed. Then mangoes are covered again with neem leaves. Moisture in the leaves and the mangoes deteriorates the fruits, i.e., rottening of fruits occurs. So a new method was innovated. Paddy straw is spread over the floor over this news paper . Above this layer mangoes are placed. Then these mangoes are covered with news paper and paddy straw layer. The riped fruits obtained from this method are attractive in colour and also delicious.
