FIELD STAFF & FARMERS’ REFRESHER THROUGH DEMONSTRATIONS INPUTS PREPARATION
FIELD STAFF & FARMERS’ REFRESHER THROUGH DEMONSTRATIONS ON INPUTS PREPARATION
ON-FARM INPUTS MANAGEMENT • Each farmer needs to be trained and motivated through demonstrations to manage ecofriendly & cheaper organic inputs on his / her own farm including: • Seeds and planting materials • NADEP Compost • CPP Compost • Vermi Compost • Vermi Wash • Beejamrit • Jeevamrit • Liquid bio fertilizer-cum-pesticide, • Green Manuring and Crop rotations
CONSTRAINTS IN ON-FARM INPUTS MANAGEMENT The following are major constraints in On-Farm inputs management: Poor or lack of knowledge about eco-friendly On-Farm inputs management & its significance Burning of Manures as fire wood for cooking Burning of Manures of crop residue in the fields to clear the fields for next crop sowing like Paddy, Wheat & Sugarcane straw Low land holding and poor farmers Due to psychological impact the farmers have become depentent on chemical inputs Lack of research and development activity supported by demonstrative studies and critical crop stage interventions
PACKAGE OF PRACTCES FOR ORGANIC FARMING The Package of Practices designed based on the climate and regional suitability including On-Farm inputs management practices, crop rotations and good agricultural practices is the need of the hour
RISKS FOR FARMERS IN ORGANIC FARMING Decrease in crop yields during initial two years No organized market for sale of organic produce No higher price for organic produce in comparison with inorganic produce
RISKS IN THE PROCESS OF ORGANIC FARMING Broken border of the organic field with adjoining inorganic fields Drift of chemical pesticide sprays from the neighbouring inorganic fields Soil errosion from the neighbouring inorganic fields High use of chemical inputs in neighbour-hood Parallel production of organic and inorganic crops Storage of organic and inorganic inputs together Storage & transport of organic and inorganic produce together
PEST & DISEASES MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIC FARMING I. Cultural and Mechenical practices: Hot water treatment Setting seeds in dry dung cakes Right time sowing and harvesting Crop sanitation Crop rotations Light traps Use of pheromone traps
PEST & DISEASES MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIC FARMING (Contd….) IV. Use of Bio-pesticides (Micrbials) and Botanical pesticides: Trichoderma & Pseudomonas for plant diseases control Beauveria, Metarhyzium, Verticilliumfor insect control Neem seed Kernel & Neem Oil products for insect control Use of Herbal spray prepared with any one of Neem leaves, Ipomoea, Lantana, Vitex, Calotropis etc. for insect control Use of Nuclear Polihydrosis Virus (NPV) for insect control
PEST & DISEASES MANAGEMENT IN ORGANIC FARMING (Contd….) IV. Use of Other Cultural Practices: Better Siol Management- Cover crops, Green Manuring, apply sufficient quantities of Compost & Inter crops Adopt crop rotations
