22/05/2020Posted on

The land of India is very fertile and perhaps that is why India has always been an agricultural country. If the farmers get proper guidance, up to 100% can be availed from this fertile land. With the guidance provided by Gramophone, Mr. Shiv Kumar Chauhan, the farmer of Barwani took some similar benefits.

Shiv Kumar, on the advice of gramophone agricultural experts, advanced cotton cultivation and gained tremendous production from the crop. This production earned him a total of Rs 22 lakhs. Here you will be surprised to know that earlier, their income from cotton cultivation was only 11 lakhs. But engagement with Gramophone and guidance from agricultural experts doubled earnings in a single year.

It is worth noting that during the cultivation of cotton, Shiv Kumar consulted the agricultural experts of Gramophone many times and also brought seeds, fertilizers, and medicines. He was surprised when he finally saw the production. Their production doubled as well as the quality of their produce was much better than before.

Today, Shiv Kumar thanks Gramophone, and advises all farmers to join Gramophone so that other farmers like them can also get the benefit and upgrade their agriculture.

The main objective of inter-cropping is to get maximum yield of cotton crop along with additional crop.

Inter-cropping for irrigated areas:

  • Cotton + Chilli (1: 1 in a row ratio)
  • Cotton + Onion (in the ratio of 1: 5 rows)
  • Cotton + Soybean (1: 2 in row ratio)
  • Cotton + linseed (as green manure) (in the ratio of 1: 2 row)
