Inducing flowering<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
Forty year old Nagjibhai Bachubhai Rathore of Bhavnagar district uses the fruits of ingoria (Balanites roxburghii) to induce flowering in brinjal (Solanum melongena) and chilli (Capsicum annuum).When brinjal and chilli plants are weak, insufficient flowering occurs. Nagjibhai collects 50-60 ingoria fruits which he soaks in water for 24 hours. Then he removes the skin of the fruits and prepares an extract from it. He mixes 250 ml of this extract in ten litre of water. The number of sprays required depends on the crop population and their stage of growth. Usually, two to three sprays are required for attaining good results. Nagjibhai has been following this traditional practice for two decades. The practice has always resulted in profuse flowering and hence increased production. For more on inducing flowering see Honey Bee 9(3):25, 1998; 6(2):9, 1995<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
