Abstract Rural Society produce has great economic viability that needs to be explored to help improve their income. Plant and insect resins that form a major produce from rural background in India could be explored for further use that can increase their value. In this article we demonstrate the insect resin lac could be used in crop protection since addition of it to soil followed by water retention and plant injury protected Chick pea seedlings as compared to control. In this article we show it for the first time that molten hot shellac (1:25parts) mixed with organic manure used for seed germination conferred protection to seedlings against water logging and water deficit related decay, recovery from physical injury. The basis of protection could be lac altering the dielectric nature of soil, it altering the soil texture or directly inhibiting fungal mycelium responsible for root rot. In water logged condition or drought, root rot fungi could play a major role in destruction of crop. To observe the protection conferred by lac resin, non-pathogenic agaricus fungi was modelled for observing mycelial spread over tin metal plate.
