  1. Many thanks for the valuable blog Somesh ji. Please throw light on the origin of Banana. I recollect reading somewhere that it originated in India and its seed may have reached through sea route to Africa and South America.

    Please also comment on malbhog, mortman, elaichi and some such varieties. Some of our varieties are going to be extinct if these are not grown in a scientific manner.
