Question

To store grains on a large scale at home, my mother uses dried neem leaves, turmeric
powder etc. Why is this practice better than using chemicals to protect the grains? Name two values exhibited by her.

Answer 1

Answer:

Dried neem leaves prevent attack by insect pests, bacteria and fungi. So, they are used for storing food grains at home. This is why Rohan's grandmother put some dried neem leaves in an iron drum containing wheat.
