Module-I: Low Cost Natural Farming

  • Intercropping:             Cauliflower + Indian Bean (1:2)
  • Incorporation of sugarcane trash @ 10 t/ha
  • Seedling dip treatment : Bijamrit
  • Jivamrit with irrigation at sowing & then after at monthly interval + Ghan Jivamrit 250 kg/ha + FYM 250 kg/ha
  • Achhadan: Soil/organic/weed mulch
  • Plant protection: Agniastra, Brahmastra and Neemastra, if required

Module-II: Organic Farming

  • Intercropping: Cauliflower + Indian Bean (1:2)
  • Incorporation of sugarcane trash @ 10 t/ha
  • Seedling dip treatment: Bio-fertilizers
  • Biocompost @ 15 t/ha + Bio-fertilizers (Azotobactor + PSB 2.5 lit/ha 2 time each)
  • Plant protection:  Bio-pesticides, botanicals, if required

Module-III: Conventional Farming

  • Intercropping: Cauliflower + Indian Bean (1:2)
  • Incorporation of sugarcane trash @ 10 t/ha
  • Recommended dose of chemical fertilizers and manures
  • Plant protection: Recommended fungicides, insecticides and herbicides, if required

Note: All modules will be taken on non-organic plot. Green manuring with Dhainchia in all plots before planting)
