Prevention of black spots in mangoes<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
The fruit of the mango tree ripens in hot summer. When the rays fall directly on the ripening fruit with the intense heat of the sun, the skin of the fruit gets burnt and black marks begin to develop. The whole fruit gets spoiled. Tulsibhai Gohil uses the leaves of ‘khakhra’ (Butea monosperma) as a remedy against this damage.The fruits ripening on the tree are covered with bowls made from ‘khakhra’ leaves. 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 percent fruit from spoilage.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
