A farmer grows disease-free and advanced chilli crop on the advice of Gramophone

08/05/2020Posted on

The most important requirement for farming is the soil, hence the healthy soil is very important to get good production from any crop. Understanding this fact, Mr. Jitendra Yadav, a farmer of Kharda village under Gogawan tehsil of Khargone district, understood. Jeetendra used Gramophone Soil Samriddhi Kit in his field before chilli cultivation which has also benefited him a lot.

In the Nimar region of Madhya Pradesh, chilli crops usually start in June-July, but Jeetendra started chilli farming in December, which would be called off-season according to that region. In such a situation, the crop is more likely to get diseases, but the opposite happened. However, about 3 months after the sowing of the crop, when the Team Gramophone reached his fields to meet him, Jeetendra looked excited.

Jitendra said that his 50-day old chilli crop is disease-free and healthy. He was very excited to explain the reason behind this. He said that “I had used Gramophone’s Soil Samriddhi Kit before sowing the crop in my field which resulted in this disease-free and healthy crop.”

It is important to note that using Gramophone’s Soil Samriddhi Kit increases the fertility of the fields and the crop does not require any other external nutrients, so Jitendra’s crop was also healthy and did not have any disease. Jeetendra told that he is expecting good production from his crop this time.

Like Jitendra, if other farmers are thinking of cultivating chilli, then they can cultivate summer chilli crop. Sowing for this occurs in March and April. For any type of information related to chilli cultivation or Soil Samriddhi Kit, give a missed call on toll-free number 18003157566.

If the central and state government declares your area as a natural disaster-affected area and your crop is at a loss of 33% or more, then you have to go to the bank and report the loss of your crop and tell that the loan you took, your ability to repay it has been affected.

How much help do you get?
If your crop has suffered from 33 to 50%, then the bank will give an additional 2 years to repay your agricultural loan and no installment will have to be paid for the first year of these two years. On the other hand, if there is more than 50% loss to the crop, then the loan repayment period will increase by 5 years and no installment will have to be paid in the first year.

Banks will not be able to deduct more than 50% of the earning amount from farmers in MP

Relief for farmers, Govt. extended the duration of short-term crop loan

Rabi crops continue to be procured across the country amid nationwide lockdown. Along with the purchase of wheat, now payment has also been made to farmers. But the bank has started deducting money from the farmers who had taken a loan from the bank for farming, due to which the farmers are not getting the full amount.

It is important to note that in Madhya Pradesh, most farmers take crop loans and farmers’ credit card loans to do farming. Farmers then fulfill this loan by selling their crop production. However, this year, due to rainfall and the corona epidemic, the savings of farmers have been very low. Due to which the farmers can face more problems due to the bank cutting the earning money.

Keeping these problems in mind, the Government of Madhya Pradesh has now ordered the banks not to deduct more than 50% of the outstanding loan amount from the amount of crop sold by farmers at minimum support price under the Rabi Earnings. Along with this, the Chief Minister has also instructed the banks to provide loans at zero percent interest to the farmers for the next crop.

After this decision, farmers in Madhya Pradesh will now have more options to sell their products and for this, they will not have to go round the market.
