About the Practice
Detail:

To increase production in crop, 500 g sugar is diluted in 10 L of water. This solution is sprayed on the chilli (Capsicum annuum) and brinjal (Solanum melongena) crop. As a result, the production of fruit increases. To increase production in crop, 500 g sugar is diluted in 10 L of water.
