Detail:

For better germination of seeds of ladys finger (Abelmoschus esculentum), soak the seeds in the latex of swallow wart (Calotropis procera)or seven hours. Sow the soaked seeds in the moist soil. Seeds germinate within one or one and half hour. Though the innovator has adopted this practice only for his kitchen garden, it provides an important key for its further research, as well as for the use of this practice in larger areas to get faster germination of the seeds.
