Other Important tips
-
- For blossom end rot in tomatoes and capsicum fruit – uneven watering is the main cause so ensure that it’s done in a systematic manner. Still if the problem persists then take a pinch of pure chuna paste (lime paste). (Note : Buy only from your nearest pan shop not the paint shop.) Dilute it well in 1 litre water. Let that water sit for atleast 3-4 hoursto release the heat from the chuna. Then spray only on plant not on soil as adding this mix to soil would alter the pH of the soil.
-
- Sprinkling of Ash on plants especially fruiting plants not only acts as a pest repellent but also provides potash resulting in good growth in fruit size. Ideal time for sprinkling is at dew time or in the evening after spraying.
-
- Diluted Desi cow gaumutra is also a very effective pest control measure. Add 300 ml of gaumutra to 16 litres water and spray.
