Now you can still continue it both for taste as well as medicine Promila. Use of this species in any form during summer is not only preventive but also curative to many common gynec troubles.
As you know these days Lagenaria is grown by using heavy agrochemicals and plant growth hormones/regulators. Hence at this time it is better to grow it in home garden organically or avoid using it. There are tens of promising alternatives. Indian farmers have rich Traditional Agricultural Knowledge to enrich this species with medicinal properties. Unfortunately young farmers fond of agrochemicals are ignoring it. In last season over 40 pesticide dealers traveled to Singapore/Thailand and other tourist destinations as bonus by companies, only for selling pesticides for Lagenaria. It is in record but this indiscriminate use has resulted in how many deaths and cancer like troubles, unfortunately we have no record. As dealers always say "Jai ho Channel vale Baba ki." regards Pankaj Oudhia On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 5:56 PM, promila chaturvedi < thegardener.chaturv...@gmail.com> wrote: > In my childhood I used to eat GulabLachchhe 0r Kapurkand made out of this > vegetable during summer season. > Promila > > On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 11:14 AM, Pankaj Oudhia <pankajoud...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Just to add Mani ji.
