It is prepared by mixing and fermenting locally available material – animal urine, water, microorganisms, farmyard manure, and plants – in a defined ratio. It controls insect pests which attack and damage crops, protects crops against fungal and vector borne diseases, and supports improved plant health. In villages where its use was demonstrated, all households were convinced to adopt it. While Jholmal is based on a local traditional practice, CEAPRED and ICIMOD are exploring the possibilities, through extensive research, to enhance its usage and recommend crop specific mixtures and usages. 000032370 650__ $$aAgriculture 000032370 650__ $$aFertilizers 000032370 653__ $$aliquid fertilizers 000032370 653__ $$abiofertilizer 000032370 653__ $$abiopesticide 000032370 655__ $$aliquid fertilizers 000032370 655__ $$abiofertilizer 000032370 655__ $$abiopesticide 000032370 690__ $$aAgriculture 000032370 690__ $$aFertilizers 000032370 8560_ $$fanil.jha@icimod.org 000032370 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/32370/files/icimodJholmal.pdf 000032370 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/32370/files/icimodJholmal.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon 000032370 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/32370/files/icimodJholmal.jpg?subformat=icon-%20300$$xicon- 300 000032370 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/32370/files/icimodJholmal.jpg?subformat=icon-600$$xicon-600 000032370 970__ $$aICIMOD-BOOK-2016-144 000032370 980__ $$aICIMODBOOKS
