The Rajasthan government has started many new schemes in the state to promote organic farming. Farmers are being encouraged to do organic farming through these schemes. In this series, the state government is providing subsidies of up to 90% to the farmers on the purchase of organic pesticides.
Different insecticides are used for different pests in agriculture. In such a situation, the state government has decided to give subsidies on all recommended organic pesticides. Through this scheme, bio-pesticides like Trichoderma, NSKE, Azadirachtin, Beauveria bassina, Metahergisum, Verticulum, NPV, Pheramon trap, Trichocards etc. will be provided to the farmers at approved rates.
The objective of this scheme of the state government is to increase the income of farmers by reducing the cost of farming. Let us inform you that under the state scheme, bio-pesticide kits will be provided to one lakh farmers. Due to this, the farmer brothers will have to pay only 10% of the purchase of organic pesticides, the rest 90% or the maximum rate of Rs 900 per hectare will be paid by the government.
At least 50% of small and marginal farmers in the state will be benefited from this scheme. Apart from this, priority will be given to the farmers of scheduled caste, tribe, women farmers, BPL, Antyodaya and food security families in the scheme.
