Turmeric Farming: Khandwa farmer Lalit Shankar Patil left chemical fertilizer and adopted organic farming and made a profit of millions from turmeric cultivation. Inspired by the video of Subhash Palekar, he started organic farming.
Farmers use chemical fertilizers and medicines wildly to increase profits in farming. This experiment threatens the health of the people. However, Lalit Shankar Patil, a farmer from village Anandpur in Khandwa, decided to do something different.
It was decided that they would never use chemical fertilizer in their fields. It got a big benefit. Lalit Shankar Patil gathered more and more information about organic farming and resorted to social media for this.
He watched the videos of Subhash Palekar on YouTube and gained knowledge about organic farming. After this, he cultivated turmeric and earned a profit of millions from it. He said, for 5 years, chemical fertilizer has stopped in the field.
Now fully organic farming is being done. Although there were many difficulties in the beginning, but today the production of crops has increased. At present, the main crop in their field is turmeric, which has not been put in any kind of chemical in growing. In this, only other organic manure including Jeeva Amrit, Gau Kripa Amrit has been used. The smell and taste of this turmeric is different in the market.
Further, he got the inspiration to do organic farming from Subhash Palekar. He used to watch his videos daily. Inspired by him, he also decided to do organic farming. They believe that the earth is our mother and we cannot poison our mother.
There are many benefits of organic farming. This increases the fertilizer capacity of the land. The crop yield is doubled. Due to non -use of chemical fertilizer, the crop produced from it is completely purified. There is a lot of demand in this market. On resorting to YouTube, the villagers used to laugh at Lalit Shankar Patil, but now they are learning the cultivation of turmeric from them.
