| Title |
A new medium for paddy cultivation |
|
|
| Details |
Mahalingeshwar Bhat, has been cultivating aromatic paddy in his houseyard, using the medium of paddy husk, arecanut husk and soil. He came up with this idea because there was a lot of space in the back yard of his house which was used only while processing paddy.
A two inch layer of arecanut husk is spread on the field. A mixture of urea, potash, sheep manure and paddy husk is mixed with soil at a ratio of 1:3 and applied over the arecanut husk. The seeds are sown directly in this medium. There is no transplantation The yield obtained through this method is 160 kg/ 7 guntas (12 quintal per acre). This method can be used by farmers to fulfill their domestic requirements. |
