Farming has become expensive. Agricultural equipment, seeds, manure, water and labor have all become expensive. Should the government claim lakhs, the Reserve Bank report brings out the truth that even today, two out of five farmers are forced to take loans from moneylenders instead of banks, which has higher interest rates. On the other hand, whether farmers or government, the emphasis is on increasing the rate of agricultural production. Due to excess production, the price of agricultural produce falls in the market. On the third side, the use of hybrid seeds and chemical fertilizers and pesticides for more production is causing rottenness in fruits and vegetables soon. Farmers cannot keep them for long. Farmers have to bear all these losses.
Every year, the situation arises that due to the steep fall in the price of vegetables in the market and increase in the rate of rot, farmers destroy them in the fields. The truth is also that the land is limited. The demand for food is increasing according to the population. This demand can be met only with maximum yield in minimum land. In such a situation, cheap and sustainable farming is the last option. When the cost will be lower, then agricultural experts have had a lot of experience in the use of traditional manure and organic farming based on indigenous knowledge. Bhadari and Ghagh have also said many proverbs about the use of manure. They also have a method of getting more production, but after World War II, chemical fertilizers used traditional fertilizer with dreams of increasing the fertility of our fields by leaps and bounds. In this era of Second Green Revolution we are looking for affordable, sustainable.
For organic farming, adopt organic farming:It is less expensive, sustainable and healthier than chemical farming. It uses organic manure and organic pesticides in place of chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides and chemical weedicides. Agricultural scientists have also added many new dimensions to these traditional tools and methods. Therefore, we can also take advantage of rich farming using them. Even higher yields can be obtained. In this, you should use cow dung manure, matka manure, green manure, earthworm manure, Nadep manure etc. These fertilizers increase the fertility of the soil in your fields and save biodiversity. These are cheaper than chemical fertilizers. You can also prepare them in your own fields. So you can get fertilizer according to your need and at the right time. It does not harm the environment. It does not make the soil and water of the fields poisonous, As chemical fertilizer does. Therefore, when you use organic manure, you are not only doing safe farming for this season, but also keep your farm soil, water and air from becoming poisonous for future also. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizer was encouraged in 1960 when the first Green Revolution was underway. As a result, the natural fertility and water holding capacity of the fields continued to be destroyed. The use of chemical fertilizers made the water below ground poisonous. The use of chemical pesticides reduced its share in crops. We are eating chemical elements in the form of vegetables, fruits and grains every day. Chemical weed pests also poisoned our soil, our water and our air. Also killed those bacteria, Which are necessary for biological balance. Organic farming is an effective alternative to overcome this situation. The government and agricultural scientists are also accepting this truth and promoting organic farming.
Way of Irrigation Crisis: Organic farming gives a great way to get out of Irrigation Crisis and makes farming - cheap. In organic farming, irrigation requirement is less than in chemical farming. Secondly, organic fertilizer increases the capacity of water harvesting in the fields. Thirdly, in organic farming, the process of evaporating the water of the farm is reduced. This keeps moisture in the fields for a long time and reduces the expenditure of the farmer on irrigation items.
Advantage of good crop: In crops produced by organic farming, the rate of rottenness and tarnishing is slower than chemical fertilizer. That is, fruits or vegetables, do not thaw and rot quickly. This gives farmers more time to sell their crops. Organic farming also has long-term positive effects. It is effective in maintaining the quality of farming.
The story of chemical fertilizers: French agricultural scientists discovered that three elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potas are necessary for plant growth. They can provide good growth and good yield of plants. Rjman s scientific libicum composted the chemical organizers of these three and used them in the fields. After World War II (1939–1945) a large amount of ammunition chemical materials survived. Multinational companies made fertilizers and pesticides from these materials and campaigned worldwide about its use.
Organic farming: Benefits only benefits: Organic farming has many benefits. This makes both the farm and the farmer self-sufficient. That is, if you have started organic farming, then in a few years the natural growth of the productive capacity of your farm becomes so much that there is no need for much water and fertilizer. Farmers dependence on chemical fertilizer decreases. Since farmers can prepare fertilizer themselves, they do not have to face the government and fertilizer suppliers. Since organic farming is inexpensive. Therefore, the farmer gets ample opportunity to produce more agriculture at low cost.
