Cure Of Termite
About the Practice
White ants attack the root and trunk of the plants and trees and leave horticulture crops dry. This infestation mostly occurs in the summer season. As prevention is better than cure, Roopsangbhai Kodipatel in fact prepares the crop land to ward off white ants. He makes a solution of 1 kg leaves and stalks of crown flower (Calotropis gigantean) in water. Then he makes small pits at regular intervals in the horticulture field. He pours the solution into the pits and ensures it lasts for some time. Only then the field is used for planting horticulture plants. Roopsangbhai says this technique has been suggested to him by Karasanbhai Dahyabhai Rajput of Nabhai village in Khambhat taluka.
