Detail:

Velumudaliar from the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu has devised an innovative method to prevent boars from attacking orchards. Farmers who have their gardens near forests face the problem of marauding boars which cause extensive damage to their mango and guava trees during the night. Boars are able to feed on mango and guava fruits from grafted varieties due to the fact that these trees are not upright but grow in abundance, side-ways touching the ground. In order to avoid the damage caused by the boars, mango seedlings of the desired variety are raised and planted directly, rather than by grafting. The ungrafted tree grows tall and is immune to attacks by boars Raise mango seedlings of the desired variety and plant directly, rather than by grafting.
