Ingredients:

(a) 3-5 kg aloevera, (b) 10-12 kg tender leaves of one of the following: bamboo, savukku or Lantana camara, (c) 100-200 gms turmeric powder, (d) 250-500 gms Pseudomonas fluorescence, (e) 10 liters archaebacterial solution.

Preparation:

• Prepare 50 liters solution using the boiling method.
• At the same time, mix the archaebacterial solution and pseudomonas and set aside for 12 hours.

Usage:
Mix the above two solutions, add sufficient water to bring the total to 100 liters and spray.

When we spray the above for prevention, the above-mentioned quantities of Pseudomonas is enough. Under unfavorable climatic conditions fungal diseases, bacterial diseases and powdery mildew attack will be severe. In that case increase the quantity of pseudomonas to 1-2 kg to achieve the knock-down effect.

It should be sprayed 2 times in 7-days interval; the third spray should be after ten days. This inevitably raises the cost of cultivation. But, the cost is still much less compared to the use of chemical pesticides. Besides, this organic method has no ill effects on our health or on the environment.
