Government will give Rs 31000 per hectare to farmers for natural farming

Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture has harmful effects on soil health. The only option to avoid this is natural farming, with the help of which both the yield of the farm and the fertilizer capacity of the soil can be increased. At the same time, schemes are being run by the government across the country to promote natural farming. Under this, the government is providing financial assistance to farmers for seeds, biofertilizers, bio-pesticides, organic manure, compost, botanical extracts, etc. For this, the government is giving a financial amount of Rs 31 thousand per hectare to the farmers. Which will be provided to the farmer brothers for 3 years.

Along with this, the central government is promoting natural farming on the banks of river Ganga through Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana and Indian Natural Farming System. At the same time, according to these schemes, under the Namami Gange program, a total fund of Rs 120.49 crore has been released to the farmers so far. Many farmer brothers have benefited from its help. On the other hand, farmers are being trained for judicious use of chemical fertilizers with the aim of improving soil health, so that they can reap the benefits of farming by combining both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients.

What is Integrated Pest Management and its main measures

  • Integrated pest management (IPM) is the equitable use of more and more methods capable of keeping the damage caused by pests, diseases and weeds, etc., which damage crops below the economic level. In this eco-friendly practical, mechanical, biological and chemical plant protection activities are used interchangeably when necessary.

Major Measures:

  • Practical control includes deep tillage, adoption of crop rotation, seed and plant treatment, timely sowing, use of resistant varieties, weed control, proper use of nutrients and irrigation water etc.

  • In mechanical control, install light traps and pheromone traps, destroy disease and insect affected parts etc.

  • Use of predatory and parasitic insects in biological activities.

  • In chemical control, in the presence of predatory and parasitic insects, in order to protect them, use relatively safe insecticidal chemicals only when there is more outbreak of pests than the economic limit.

The farmers of this state got the gift of loan waiver on Holi

Maharashtra Finance Minister Ajit Pawar has announced several schemes in the interest of farmers. One of these schemes is about loan waivers of farmers.

Under this scheme, the loan taken by the farmers on their crops will be paid by the government. With the help of this, 34,788 farmers of the state will get freedom from debt. Although earlier the government had announced an incentive of Rs 50,000 to repay the loans of farmers in the first budget of the year 2020, during that time the scheme could not be implemented due to financial constraints.

At present, the state government has promised to complete this scheme to improve the economic condition of the farmers. Along with this, the government has announced to give zero percent interest loan to 43,112 lakh farmers in 2022-23.
