| Details |
Surface grasshopper, locally called `Khapedi', infests sorghum during the monsoon season. Fresh `Aag Fulta', fruits are collected when still green, crushed in water, and then filtered. The liquid is sprayed on the crop and begins to take effect in 4-5 hr. This practice continues unaltered since time immemorial. `Aag Fulta' is a creeper with transparent white flowers that grows in hedgerows. The fruit is `Tindola' (Coccinia grandis). |
