Agriculture News: India is an agricultural country. About 58 percent of India’s population is still dependent on agriculture. Their only means of earning is agriculture or the agricultural industry. In such a situation, farmers are often forced to do farming even after taking loans and suffering losses because they have no other way. In today’s time, every farmer wants that his grown crop should be sold at a good price as soon as it comes out of the field, so that there is some profit, but due to the weather and lack of proper planning of farming, this work is not possible. Experts say that if farmers want, they can earn lakhs from even 1 acre of land. For this, only three things have to be paid attention to. One is hard work, second is patience and third is the seeds of the most profitable crop. These three things can give good income in a short time.
Rabi crop has been harvested, so after storing the crop, farmers are now engaged in sowing of Kharif. In Kharif crop, farmers need to prepare nurseries for crops, some crops are sown directly while some require seed treatment. With seed treatment, farmers can earn good profits at low cost.
Seed Treatment
Seed treatment is a scientific method which is used in farming. This improves the crop and also increases the production. In seed treatment, it is necessary for the farmers to treat the seeds because the seed contains many germs, bacteria, viruses and this seed is the carrier of all these. By doing seed treatment, the quality and germination of the seeds is improved along with the crop yield. When the seed is treated, the fighting ability, productivity and production power of the seed increases.
Use cow dung and compost manure
After harvesting the crop, in some fields, farmers sow crops like mustard, lentils etc. without plowing. If the field becomes uneven or rough after harvesting the crop, then sow the next crop only after leveling the field. Start plowing beforehand for the crop to be sown. For plowing again, mix cow dung manure or compost manure in the soil of the field. This will give power to production and fertilizer and the profit will also be good.
Know these things, otherwise you may suffer loss
If the crop is ready at the right time, then the work ahead becomes easy and the profit is also good. Rabi crop has been harvested long ago, now Kharif crops are being sown. If preparation is done at the right time then the work becomes easy and the crop is also good. Farmers get some time between harvesting of Rabi crop and sowing of Kharif crops. Due to this they are in a position to prepare in advance. However, farmers do not have any time at the time of harvesting Kharif crop and sowing of Rabi crops. In such a situation, buy improved seeds, fertilizers, weedicides, and pesticides in advance. After the rain, get the field plowed again so that the weeds are eliminated beforehand. If even after this weeds remain in the nursery, then get it weeded out."text-align: justify;">Traditional method of ploughing
In olden times, farming was based on oxen. These oxen used to work as a carrier for ploughing the fields and taking the crops to the market. Although even today oxen are kept for this work in many areas, but in the era of modernity and agricultural mechanization, farmers have now started using many machines along with tractors.
This allows ploughing to be done in less time, less labour and less cost. In the olden days, due to the lack of these machines, ploughs were carried on the shoulders of oxen and the fields were ploughed for several days. Many farmers used to plough the fields by carrying the plough on their shoulders, but in the era of agricultural mechanisation, many equipment including tractors are proving to be a boon today.
