A remedy, using the leaves of khakhra or Bastard teak (Buteamonosperma) to prevent the formation of black spots on the mango.TulsibhaiJivabhaiGohil from the Bhavnagar district in Gujarat uses the leaves of khakhra or Bastard teak (Buteamonosperma) as a remedy for the formation of black spots on the mango. The fruit of the mango tree ripens in hot summer. When the rays of the sun fall directly on the ripening fruit, the skin of the fruit gets burnt and black marks begin to develop. The whole fruit gets spoiled.Gohil uses the leaves of Bastard teak as a remedy against this damage. He covers the fruits ripening on the tree with bowls made from the leaves of Bastard teak. This prevents the rays from falling directly on the fruits. It is a labour intensive process and some extra expenditure has to be incurred. Hence only a few people adopt this method though it can protect 60 per cent of the fruit from spoilageCover the mango fruits, ripening on the tree, with bowls made from the leaves of khakhraor Bastard teak (Buteamonosperma).
