I am Amar, an environmentalist. I belong to Haryana, working with NGO and I am actively participating in the activities being conducted in conservation of soil. Right now I am in Telangana.
I recently shifted to Telangana and I am very impressed with the approach of farmers towards Soil. I will meetMr Ramu who will tell us about the methods used by people of Telangana to conserve soil.
Hi Ramu. How are you?
Yeah. Sure
Hi Amar. I am fine. Are you ready for the tour?
Organic farming is the first form of farming in which crops are grown without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. Vegetable peels, and cow dung are used as fertilizer and added to the soil as manure. This helps reatain soil fertility.
Crop rotation is based on growing a series of different types of crops in the same area in sequential seasons. The planned rotation may vary from a growing season to a few years or even longer periods. It is one of the most effective agricultural control strategies that is used in preventing the loss of soil fertility
Mulching is a long-established horticultural practice that involves spreading a layer of material on the ground around plants. Mulch include the conservation of soil moisture, improving fertility and health of the soil, reducing weed growth, and enhancing the area's visual appeal.
Thanks Ramu. It was a a very Informative tour.
No problem. I am happy to spread awareness in our society.
