Organic farming practices are being implemented under the guidance and supervision of a team of experts comprising scientists, environmentalists, and food management personals in 1565 villages selected from 313 blocks of 48 districts in the State. Use of agro-chemicals in these selected villages for growing crops is strictly prohibited. Nutrients to the crops are provided through green manuring, composts, phosphocomposts, fermented preparations prepared from cow dung and urine etc. .
Pests are being managed through use of neem and cow urine based fermented preparations. Most of the organic farmers in these villages are following the principles of diversity in crops, variability in farm operation and integration of crop production system with livestock maintenance/Crop wastes are being used as valuable feed to the livestock and livestock wastes like dung and urine are used as resources for providing nutrients as well as managing the pests problems.
The success of this programme is evident from the fact that these villages have become model for other. The message of growing crops through organic resources is spreading from village to villages through farmers contact programme.During the year 2004-05 five cultivators have been selected for Organic farming from each village of the state.
Use of cow dung & cow urine is resource for providing nutrient & pest management . For this GAU SEWA SADAN is ready to provide cow for those cultivator who wants to adopt bio farming .
