Natural
farming
You should have a little water source.
This helps to give jeevambritham.
No fertilizers are needed, no
pesticides are required.
You require only one Desi cow, for
cultivation up to thirty acres of land.
Cow dung is needed for making
jeevmbritham which is used for micro organisms multiplication through
fermentation and supply to the soil.
Micro-organisms enhance the automatic
production of plant needs[nitrogen fixing] from the soil fertility.
Micro organisms convert unusable minerals into usable ones for
plants.The earth-worms themselves till[ make holes] the soil and make
it porous to hold maximum rain water in the inner layers of the
field. The land becomes fertile so that any crop can be grown. The
earth's water level also improves. The soil erosion is also reduced,
because of lesser surface tilling activity.
You need not purchase any thing from
market for cultivation including fertilisers, pesticides and seeds.
Hence it is called zero budget cultivation process. But labour cost is
involved to some extent. When bulls are used, you need not go for
tractor tilling. The bulls also give additional dung and they can
also be used to transport goods to and fro the field. If there are
any pests, they can be controlled by multi cropping and using Neem,
Dhatturi, Seetafal, Besermy and others leaves. The farmers can be
saved from debt and his prosperity increases on more food grains
production.
Zero budget cultivation means no
pesticides, no fertilisers. It also means pure food grains without
chemicals to consumers. It also means good return to farmers, as
investment expenditure is limited to only labour cost. It adds to Health
improvement, wealth creation and happiness. Water requirement is
also reduced.
Jeevambritham needs cow dung, cow
urine, jaggery, floor of pulses and a little good soil.
Production cost is nil. Nothing is
wasted other than labouring, for up keeping plants and harvesting. The micro
organisms supply the needs of the plants. There is no mineral
shortage in the earth. You see how does the forests grow for
themselves? Nature is self curing, self protecting, and self
producing.
It is better to do cultivation than
say. Your action should tell and show results. Mr.Subhash Paleker
toiled on this problem from 1985 to 2000 while he was a student of
agriculture science, to make experiments and conclude the results of
zero budget farming.
Basic
science:
Plants take 98.5% of their requirement
from air, water and sun light and they take only 1.5% from the soil.
It was also confirmed that natural seeds are more powerful to the
modified ones.
Modified seeds are used in modern
methods and they can not grow without fertilizers and pesticide. In
this method, the soil fertility is lost and unwanted chemicals are
added to the food grains. Such grains destroy the heath of people
causing many un-natural deaths.
The natural farming generate lot of
profit if done systematically. Multi cropping bagvani gives lot of
profit, at the rate of more than one lakh per acre net after
expenses.
