Farm Queries

Organic method

The leaves of my papaya trees are getting crinkled and the fruit production has also decreased. Can you suggest any organic remedy for increasing fruit production?

M. Gulati
Ambala Cantt, Haryana

You may apply neem cake and vermicompost once every six months around the roots of the tree and spray Dasagavya solution over the infected parts of the tree. Regular use of Dasagavya will increase fruit production and quality and help control infestations.

Change the soil in the pot once every four months. Mix neem cake and vermicompost along with the soil before replanting. Spray Panchagavya once every month over the infested areas.
