Jalandhar admin encourages farmers to manage stubble organically

Jalandhar, Nov 8 (UNI) The district administration on Wednesday encouraged farmers to manage stubble organically and took full advantage of managing the paddy straw in a natural way.
In a renewed drive launched to apprise and educate farmers about the new methodology to manage straw, Additional Deputy Commissioner Bhupinder Paul Singh in association with the residents and farmers of Malli Nangal village kicked off the campaign to make the farmers aware of the hazards of the straw burning and how to use the paddy waste effectively which as recharging nutrient for soil fertility. A team of agricultural experts accompanied the ADC to educate and train the farmers about the new technique.
The experts dug a four feet deep, 20 feet long and eight feet broad hole and it with cow dung and around 2.5 ton paddy straw. The hole was then covered with the soil to be opened before next paddy sowing season. The experts of the agriculture department accompanying the Additional Deputy Commissioner apprised the farmers that by the next sowing season of paddy this paddy straw would turn into compost which could be aptly utilized in place of fertilizers. They said that this compost would enhance the fertility of the soil on one hand and reduce the input cost of the farmers on other hand by reducing the usage of the fertilizers. The experts assured the farmers that if this practice was continued for three consecutive seasons then there would be no need of using the fertilizers on that chunk of land in future.
