For bumper profits, take these measures before cultivating Rabi crop

Rabi crop cultivation: Farmers are now working hard to get the field ready for the Rabi crops, but they are having trouble. The ground is really becoming hard. Even the rotavators are not functioning in such a scenario. A month ago, the farmers in this area harvested the paddy. The journalists contacted farmers and specialists to find out why this was happening.

The rotavators failed, and the ground has hardened.

Farmers are having trouble getting ready for Rabi crops. The terrain is becoming difficult. Even the rotavators are not operating on it at the moment. According to the farmers, plowing was formerly done only with a bullock-driven plow, but these days, even the large tractor machinery isn’t functioning. According to agricultural specialists, this issue may worsen in the years to come.

That’s why this issue is occurring.

Urea contains 46% nitrogen when administered in the field. Additionally, 54% of it is exhaust material, which may degrade the soil. In addition, less organic fertilizers are being used to enhance the field’s soil, which is harming the land. Additionally, the sun’s rays strike the ground directly. This lowers the land’s moisture content.

Farmers may choose the medium route.

According to agriculture expert Ashish Borkar, limited plowing (zero tillage) or no plowing may help save carbon. More carbon is left in it. The more nutrients the crop can absorb, the better.

Crop rotation is another option available to farmers. Paddy farming has becoming more popular in the Balaghat area during Kharif and Rabi. Planting one kind of crop on the soil upsets the nutritional balance in such a scenario. Farmers may decide to plant pulse crops in their fields following rice crops under such circumstances. In addition, mulching may be employed to retain moisture. By using paddy straw to cover the field, farmers can save moisture and enhance their land.
