Productivity Of Ginger
About the Practice
Before sowing the ginger crop, the flowers of Indian beech plant are sprinkled in the field and then the leaves of bustard teak are spread out in the field. This minimises diseases and insects in the plant. The soil remains soft resulting in good growth of crop and finally good yield.
