Description

Ellu punnakku, or sesame oil cake, is a natural fertilizer that can help plants grow. It’s a by-product of cold-pressing sesame seeds and contains nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. Ellu punnakku can also help with:

Faster growth: Stimulates faster growth in plants

Stronger plant cells: Calcium from the cake helps develop stronger plant cells and stems

Root diseases: Prevents root diseases caused by fungal infections

Soil texture: Improves soil texture and fertility

Pest tolerance: Improves pest tolerance

Pest repellant: Can be used as an effective pest repellant 

To use ellu punnakku as a fertilizer, you can soak it in water for 6 hours to absorb water, then apply the residue directly to the roots of your plants. You can also use the water as a foliar spray. To avoid ants taking the cake directly from the soil, you can soak a handful of ellu punnakku in one liter of water for 2–3 days, then mix it with one to two times as much water and apply it to your plants
