The same thing happened with an ordinary farmer- Krishan Dutt Sharma, of village- Chikhar (Shimla) and motivated him to adopt organic farming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Achievements of Krishan Dutt Sharma in organic farming has made him so popular that today his name is counted in the list of important people in the field of agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>It all started when, Krishan Dutt Sharma got the opportunity to visit Hyderabad (November 11, 2002), with the help of Agriculture Department. During that visit, he got an overview of Organic Farming. He was curious to know more about it, as well as he wanted to implement it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>His passion and ideas came into action when he came in contact with Morarka Foundation (in 2004). Until that time, he got well aware of the adverse effects of increased use of chemicals in the agriculture field and this made him very distressed and anxious. As he knew that, he also has to face the consequences of fertilizers and pesticides in the coming future, so he decided to adopt organic farming completely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>He had total 20 bigha land out which 5 bighas was irrigated land and 15 bigha was rain-fed area. In the beginning, he purchased an apple mother plant (root-stock) from Horticulture Department, and from that plant, he established his whole garden with 400 plants of apples. He also grew pears tree (20), cherry trees (20), peach trees (10) and pomegranate tree (15). Along with fruits, he also started growing vegetables like cauliflower, peas, beans, capsicum, and broccoli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Generally, broccoli crop grown with pesticides and chemicals gets easily spoil, but the broccoli grown by Krishan Dutt Sharma in an organic way, significantly has much life. Due to this reason now broccoli grown by farmers organically is being carried to Delhi market for marketing purpose. Moreover, broccoli grown organically is sold around Rs 100-150 \/ kg and these numbers are escalating the income reach of farmers up to 500000 rupees, and in the boost of this six-digit figure, half of the income is earned from the sale of broccoli only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>To inspire more farmers towards organic farming, Krishan Dutt Sharma has created a group in his village under his leadership. His initiative has inspired many farmers to adopt organic farming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Krishan Dutt Sharma\u2019s achievements in the field of organic farming are very huge and even Himachal Government has honoured him with Best Farmer Award in \u201cOrganic Fair and Food Festival\u201d in June 2013. But because of his humbleness, he gives all the credit of his success to Morarka Foundation and the Department of Agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He uses cows (3), bullocks (1), and calves (2) dung in his fields and forest, and he also prepares Vermicompost for better yield. He has prepared a bed of 30x8x10 on his farm where he prepares Vermicompost from 250 earthworms every year. In place of pesticides, he uses herbal spray, aperture wash, Jivamrit, and NSDL. Using natural pesticides in place of artificial improves his land condition and also decreases his expense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Message:<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><em>&#8220;He wants to inspire other farmers to adopt organic farming for better future and good income.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Full Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[309,662,667,666,315,316,664,661,54,387,68,658,659,391,53,577,663,314,665,660,386],"class_list":["post-254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-small-with-image","tag-apni-kheti","tag-apples","tag-beans","tag-broccoli","tag-capsicum","tag-cauliflower","tag-cherry","tag-chikhar","tag-crops","tag-fruits","tag-himachal-pradesh","tag-krishan-dutt-sharma","tag-morarka-foundation","tag-natural-farming","tag-organic-farming","tag-peach","tag-pears","tag-peas","tag-pomegranate","tag-shimla","tag-vegetables"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
