It costsonly Rs. 1-2 (depending on variety) for each bunch to
adopt this technology. It is very beneficial as it gives higher yield 3-5 kg
in Robusta., Cavendish and Grand-9 and 1-3 kg in Elakki, Nendran,
Nanjangudu rasa bale and Red Banana.
Note:
o.so.
1. The below end part of the bunch is 6 inch / 15 cm length, care
should be taken that only half of it is immersed in the dung slurry.
2. Once tied the dung slurry to the bunch need not to remove till end
of the crop.
