Using ear heads of millet for grain storage<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
Centurion Noorbai Ismailsha Sultansha Shamdar Fakir in Jamnagar district continues with an age-old grain storage practice. First, a pit (about eight to ten feet deep) is made. Ear heads of pearl millet are placed at the bottom of the pit in a layer of about half a feet. The grains that need to be stored are then placed (in a layer of one feet). The ear heads, in another layer of half a feet height, are kept on top of the grains. This sequence is repeated several times. The final layer is made of one foot of earheads. This is covered with clay/soil. Finally, cow dung mixed with clay is smeared on top of the pit. Grains stored in this manner remain intact for a year. However, the grains should not come in touch with the soil. Noorbai has been using this practice, which is widely prevalent in this region, for the last 50 years.See Honey Bee 2(1): 6, 1991, 4(2&3): 10, 1993; 8(3): 12, 1997; 10(4): 14, 1999; HB 11(3): 7, 2000<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
