Lactic acid is mainly found in old sour curd or buttermilk. The amount of acid increases in old curd due to fermentation. This acid works as an excellent fungicide, which protects plants from fungus and diseases. The biggest reason for falling of fruits and flowers in chilli plant is deficiency of calcium. Buttermilk is the cheapest and best source of calcium, which keeps the fruits firmly attached to the stalk. It contains millions of live bacteria like Lactobacillus. These go into the soil and fix nitrogen and make the soil fertile. Along with nitrogen and phosphorus, vitamin B-complex and many enzymes are also found in it which boost the growth of the plant.
