If there is a loss in agriculture then the government will pay for 3 years

Due to the continuous use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture, the soil health and the quality of the produce are deteriorating. Apart from this, excessive use of chemical fertilizers is also having a bad effect on the environment. In such a situation, the only solution to these problems is natural farming. By adopting this, the damage caused by chemical fertilizers can be avoided. Therefore the government is promoting natural farming or organic farming across the country. Along with this, the central and state governments are also running many schemes to encourage farmers.

However, despite the efforts of the government, farmers are hesitant to do natural farming. Farmers fear that adopting this method will reduce production and cause losses to them. Along with this, markets will also not be available to sell organic products. Haryana Government has come up with a scheme to eliminate these apprehensions of farmers. Under this, the farmers of the state are being counted on the benefits of natural farming. Not only this, if natural farming damages the yield of farmers, then it will be compensated by the government for 3 years.

Let us inform you that the Haryana government has given importance to natural farming in the budget of the financial year 2022-23. For this, the government has announced a budget provision of Rs 32 crore this time. With the help of which the farmers doing natural farming will be helped financially. On the other hand, if there is any kind of loss in the yield, then the government will compensate it for 3 years.

Onion bolting or flowering problem and its remedy

  • This is not a disease, it is a physiological disorder, which farmers know by the name of onion flower or pipe formation etc. This problem is often seen in the onion in the 4-5 leaf stage.

  • In this disease, onion leaves turn yellow and dry from the top and flowers start forming on the leaves, due to which the yield is affected along with the size of onion bulbs.

  • Possible reasons – deficiency and excess of nitrogen in the crop, excessive irrigation, not selecting the variety according to the season, lack of nutrients in the soil, delay in transplanting, moisture in the atmosphere etc.

  • Remedy – Use the right amount of nitrogen and nutrients at the right time. Keep in mind that do not use urea while making bulbs.

  • Avoid excessive irrigation and choose only good quality variety according to the sowing season. 

  • Onion seedlings are ready for transplanting in 30-45 days, delay in transplanting also increases the chances of this disease.

  • When you see flowers in the crop, pluck it. It is necessary to do this otherwise the tubers do not get enough nutrition and the tubers remain small.

  • Soil testing is absolutely necessary for the meaningful use of fertilizers and better crop production. 

  • Soil testing can detect soil pH, electrical conductivity[EC], organic carbon as well as major nutrients and micronutrients, which are essential for increasing yields.

  • After checking the level of nutrients available in the soil, the amount of manure and fertilizer can be recommended in the field by determining the balanced amount of elements according to the crop and variety.

  • To identify and improve the acidity, salinity and alkalinity of the soil, by recommending the quantity and type of rectifiers, you can adopt important advice and suggestions to make this type of land cultivable.
