Asafoetida and yield increase

I am growing some vegetables in my small patch of land. I want to make the plants bear more buds and fruits. Is there any natural friendly method for doing it as I am not interested to spray any chemical hormones?

K. Sreedevi

Warangal, Andhra Pradesh

Take about 2 gms of Asafoetida and bury it about near the root zone of the plants and water. Asoefitida prevents flower and bud fall and increases yield in vegetable crops. For more information you can contact Ms. P. Thangam at Kozhikoottupothai, Kumarapuram thoppu P.O., Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, mobile:9952607450.
