Dear Editor,
The following was taken from The Hindu daily of Thursday Oct 22, ‘09. I think it can be applied with research! How sacred the “cow”.
“Dilute one litre of cow’s urine in about 5 litres of water, take paddy seeds required for an acre and tie them into several small bundles and dip them in the solution for half an hour then dry the seeds under shade before sowing. Using this method several farmers have been successful and able to record that the seeds have become more resistant to infestations from pest attacks!
With a mindful application the farmers, may be able to avoid the cost of pesticides, delivering a less harmful product to the consumer at a cheaper cost!
Yours faithfully,
Michael Tannassee
