“A Progressive Harvester – Prabhu Lal Biarwa”

Nowadays, most of the farmers are using chemical fertilizers and medicines in the greed of more production, due to which agricultural production has started becoming poisonous. It is adversely affecting people’s health and lands are also becoming barren. Prabhu Lal Bairwa does animal husbandry. Earlier, they used to heap animal dung and put it in the field after a year, but it gave less profit than vermi compost. Now they collect animal dung and dry it near the fields. Later, the cow dung is wetted with water and placed in a cement pond and earthworms are left in it. Earthworms eat cow dung and vermicompost is prepared from their waste. Prabhu Lal Bairwa also cultivated onion. In which no chemical fertilizers or medicines were used. The use of vermicompost resulted in very good yields. Prabhu Lal said that “Earlier my land was hard, after using this vermi compost, the land has become fertile. He said that “If production is on natural cow dung manure and vermicompost, they last us throughout the year and the products have very good taste. He also cultivating black wheat which have more nutrients than normal wheat. Earlier he was using chemical fertilizers in his fields. After getting training from Rajmeru organization and support in making vermicompost, he became aware and started doing organic farming. Now Prabhu Lal is doing organic farming. He has planted tomato, chilli, brinjal, ladyfinger, guar and fennel.
