About the Practice
Tackle the wilting problem in gram and lentil by treating the seeds of these crops with hing or asafoetida (Serula foetida) in the ratio of 1 g of hing per kg of seed, or mustard oil at the ratio of 100 g mustard oil per 40 kg of seeds, before sowing. To prevent wilting in pulses, 40 kg of pulse seeds are soaked in 5 L of buttermilk for 24 hours before sowing. These measures prevent wilting problems in the crops.
