Ginger garlic extract

What is ginger garlic extract and how is it prepared?

V.K. CHOPRA

Uttaranchal

Ginger garlic extract is an effective bio pesticide. It is manufactured by mixing about 1 kg of ginger and garlic each, 2 kg of green chilli and 5 litres of cow’s urine and water. The garlic, ginger and green chilli are ground into a paste and mixed with cow’s urine and water. After 10 days the mixture is filtered and used. The prescribed quantity is about 500 ml of this solution diluted in 10 litres of water which can be sprayed over the plants. The ideal time for spraying these karaisals is during 6 am to 8.30 am and between 4 pm and 6.30 pm.
