About the Practice
Detail:

Take about 300 g of the leaves and unripe fruits of datura (Datura spp.) and crush them. Afterthat heat the mixture in 1 l of water. After filtration, about 300 ml of the stock solution is mixed in 15 ml of water and use to sprinkle over the crop This solution is enough for one spray pump. About 7-8 pumps of the dilute solution is required to sprinkle one acre field of 3-5 month old cotton crop. Another approach is that ground 1 kg of sugar and 5 kg of salt together and dissolve them in water. Spray the mixture on about 0.15 hectares of land to control sukara or wilt in cumin (Cuminum cyminum).
