2. Poochimarundu
3. Fermented Plant Extracts (FPE)
4. Panchagavya
5. Jeevamruta
The correct usage of these solutions (time of application, dilution ratios, best-before dates, storage, etc.) was explained and any variations in methods also discussed. The facilitators also described other treatments and processes like Vermiwash, biodigester, and chilli garlic sprays. Details of the preparations are available in GREEN Foundation’s publication called ‘Sustainable Agricultural Practices’ both in Kannada and English. |
