It is necessary to accept multi-ropping and follow the scientific agricultural methods to improve the financial situation of farmers, said B. Rajashekhar, a special main secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and cooperation.
Mr. Rajasekhar emphasized the importance of natural agriculture for better yields at the seminar held on Friday at the Farmers’ Training Center. Instead of sticking to the mono-sagging, farmers should cultivate more crops and gain awareness of the right agricultural methods-the selection of quality seeds and plants after scientific nutritional procedures. Only natural agricultural methods would bring high quality production and get better prices. ” Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides not only worsens the quality of crops, but also affects the export value due to residual content, ” said.
” The state government focuses on providing access to the market and ensuring rewarding prices for gardening farmers. The government carries out programs to raise awareness that helps farmers, especially those who grow tomatoes and chili crops, understand better agriculture, marketing practices and how to ensure advantageous prices. In order to avoid loss due to market fluctuations, farmers must know when to grow, which crop. For example, suddenly the prices of tomatoes increased drastically and required safety for the crop, while at other times the prices crashed, led to ejecting crops on the roads, ”he said.
Timely advice
Rajasekhar said to help farmers, local processing units were established. ” Although technology is available to predict weather conditions, crops are still losing, which is unfortunate. Farmers should obtain timely advice from agricultural officials and scientists. Measures such as installation of windbreakers are taken to protect crops from damage to the storm. ”
K. Srinivasulu, the director of the horticulture and the series, said that the main goal of the seminar was to raise awareness of the challenges facing chili and support natural agriculture. He said that the central government launched a special mission to support natural agriculture. In Andhra Pradesh himself, he practiced natural agriculture in more than 6 lakh hectares, he said.
Mr. Srinivasulu emphasized the need to divert himself from mono-de-displaying and accept multi-ropping, which could improve the revenue of farmers. Farmers in Delta regions have already grown oil palm and cocoa as intercrope, he said.
