How to remove soil contain from land

[prabhuyadwad]

Hi
We have 45 acre land in bagalkot distrct in karnataka .
My question is How to remove excess water from land ?
How to improve productivity of land ?
Our land is black in color.
We are using lot of water for growing sugarcane
We are growing sugar cane last 15 years
Now we are getting only 35-45 tone per acre of sugar cane
We are using inorganic farming last 15 years
How to improve our productivity of sugar cane per acre ?
How extract/remove soil contain from land?
Is there any technology to use removing soil contain in the land?
How much cost for this ?

Thanks
prabhu

To remove excess salts from soil

Dear Mr. Prabhu,
As per your statement, you have already spoiled soil in your Land due to :
1)Excessive use of water
2)Excessive use of Chemical Fertilisers and Pesticides.
3)Continuous planting same crop
4)Black soil is heavy, very fertile and its water holding capacity is good.

Now how to improve it:
1)Stop cultivating Sugar-cane and other things immediately
2)Make pyramid types of hollow beds of at least one feet in height in downward slop direction,which will remove excess salts in soil, make way for this salty water to go out of your land.
3)Use only Bio- Fertilisers like compost, Cow-dung, Vermicompost etc. Before making beds.
4)Apply dry leaves, Hey in large qty. For making beds.
5)Cultivate “Dhencha”, diffrent type of Pulses, after its proper growth cut it and mix in bed soil.
6)Plant “ Glirisidia” on boundary of your land , remove its green leaves every three months, plus “AZOLA” and apply in bed soil.
7)Use only Drip / Sprincklers for irrigation
8)Don't use Chemical Fertilizers / Pesticides in future.
9)Change the crop every year / cultivate mix crops.

This process may take more than 2 to 3 years for the soil to be ready for commercial cultivation.
The productivity of sugarcane what you have mentioned is too low. The new variety -261, developed by Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapith- Rahuri- Ahmednagar- Maharashtra, gives 125 Mt. Of Sugarcane per Acre.

Improving Productivity of Sugarcane

The reasons for low productivity in sugarcane are:
• The improved varieties released by research organizationsperform well in the initial years but lose their vigour and declinein yield in due course
• Water availability is unpredictable. The concern is not only thequantity of water required, but also the lack of proper watermanagement practices. Due to this, water is either wasted orsometimes not available at the right time
• Unpredictable climatic aberrations, improper cultivation practices, negligence in plantprotection measures, imbalanced nutrient management and other practices like monocropping often result in low productivity, fetching low price in the market.In addition, it is also very important to consider the enormous amount of water that goesinto the sugarcane production. Approximately 25,000 kg of water is needed to produce 10 kgof sugarcane. But, the water table is depleting every year. Costs of production, moreover, areincreasing not just for the small farmers but for the large industrial players as well. In future,these challenges will become even more complex with climate change inducing direct andindirect effects on crops, water, pests and diseases, and volatility in the international market

The major principles for Sustainable Sugarcane Production Practice involves:
Raising nursery using single budded chips.• Transplanting young seedlings (25-35 days old).• Maintaining wide spacing (5X2 feet) in the main field.• Providing sufficient moisture and avoiding inundation of water.• Encouraging organic method of nutrient and plant protection measures.• Practicing intercropping for effective utilization of land

Water management is another crucial issue.It is always emphasized that sufficient moisture isprovided rather than inundating the field with wateras flooded condition will actually hinder the growthof the plant. Measures like raising of nursery, followingfurrow/alternate furrow irrigation, optimumapplication of water through drip irrigation shouldbe followed. So, by giving only required quantity ofwater about 40% of water is saved

Organic method of cultivation

discourage high applicationof chemical fertilizers and use of pesticides andweedicides. Farmers should incorporate moreorganic manures, bio-fertilizers and follow bio-control measures. The sudden switch over toorganic cultivation is not advisable. Instead, agradual reduction of inorganic and adoption oforganic methods can be tried by framers for longterm benefits

Intercropping in sugarcane with crops like wheat, potato, cowpea, french bean,chickpea, water melon, brinjal etc. In addition to effective utilization of land, this practice willreduce the weed growth up to 60% and give extra income to farmers

Water managementIt is always better to provide sufficient quantity of water on timerather than flooding the field with enormous amount of water.• In conventional flooding method water is always applied morethan the biological demand of the crop which may affect thecrop growth.• After transplantation, the frequency of the irrigation maydiffer depending on the soil type, age of the crop, rainfall andmoisture availability. For sandy soil, the frequency will be moreand for clay soil it will be less.• Give irrigation once in 10 days during tillering stage (36-100days), once in 7 days during Grand Growth period (101-270days) and once in 15 days during Maturity period (from 271days till harvest)
• Furrow irrigation helps in proper application and saving of water.Alternate furrow irrigation means irrigating the furrows of oddnumbers initially followed by irrigating the furrows of evennumbers after 7 to 15 days as per the moisture content and ageof the crop. This will ensure saving of water up to 50%.• Drip irrigation can be practiced effectively in SSI due to widerspacing and raising of single seedlings. Farmers who wish toadopt drip irrigation can contact the concerned firms and installthem in their fields

Hello,

If you are getting sugar cane of 35 to 45 ton per acre

If you get rate of Rs 2500=00 per ton for sugar cane

The per year per acre sales revenue generation will be Rs. 87,500=00 to Rs. 1,12,500=00

As you have mentioned that

" We are using lot of water for growing sugarcane "

This proves that you have access to lots of water.

Why you do not go for green house project, using coco peat (soil less agriculture).

This will solve your both the problems,

• Soil Recovery
  
• Improving the revenue generation per acre

We can assist you for the green house project in all respect right from start to end.

In the Green House Project that we have set up, we are expecting revenue generation of Rs. 7,50,000=00 in one harvesting season of 150 days, from the green house having area of 1000 sq mts (1/4 of acre).

Let me know if you are interested in our Green House proposal.
