In this technique, along with the main crop, the farmer cultivates poultry, fisheries, beekeeping, silk, vegetable-fruits, mushrooms on the same land in or around the same field.
By doing this, the dependence of farmers on one crop is reduced.
use technology
If farmers start doing horticulture, animal husbandry, poultry farming, fisheries along with farming at the same place, then the profit can increase manifold.
Simultaneous experiment in the same field is not a windy talk but there is truth in it. Let us know how….
In order to double the income of the farmers and make them self-reliant, new techniques are being used in agriculture.
Integrated farming is also one such technique. By cultivating this technique, the farmer can increase the profit manifold.
No separate amount has to be spent
In this technique, along with the main crop, the farmer cultivates poultry, fisheries, beekeeping, silk, vegetable-fruits, mushrooms on the same land in or around the same field.
By doing this, the dependence of farmers on one crop is reduced.
Apart from this, farmers do not have to spend separate amount for animal fodder and crop manure.
Fodder for animals is produced in the farm itself. Animal waste is used to make manure.
If you are doing fish farming then its diet is available from farm and dairy.
How to do Integrated Farming?
Agricultural scientist Dr. Dayashankar Srivastava, who is continuously working on integrated farming, says that due to the ever-increasing population and decreasing natural resources, farmers need to use farming and its methods.
Even if you have less land for farming, there is no need to worry.
You can get good profits even by using every inch of the limited farming land you have.
prepare model first
First of all, farmers have to make sure that they have a model for this farming.
They should know on which side of the field to plant the crops and on which side the vegetables. Which vegetables will grow with which crop.
Apart from this, in which part of the farm to make a pond for fish farming or how to choose a place for poultry farming.
To know all this, farmers can also contact agricultural scientists.
