Dear Sir,
I have a 5 acre plantation of Drumsticks at post Nadsur, Tal. Sudhagad in Raigad District of Maharashtra. The land is in two types, one as paddy field and the other as small hills. I have done the soil testing and as per the advice of the experts from the soil testing dept. planning the NPK and micronutrients doses to the crop. I have some questions related to farming and seek your guidance and suggestions for the same.
1) To control the weeds in drumstick plantation what should I plant which can be used as Animal feed? (I have an Indian breed cow).
2) To control the soil erosion where can I get vetiver grass culture/seeds in or around Raigad District?
3) To use green fertilizer I am planning to plant Gliricidia on farm boundary. Where can I get the sticks of Gliricidia?
4) After Paddy what should I plant to enrich the soil with NPK and biomass?
5) As intercrop, I plan to have some Brinjal (Kateri Vangi), Tomato, Chillies in my farm. Please suggest me the best variety for respective crops considering the soil types, weather conditions etc.
6) I currently use KOMAL variety for paddy field (1 Acre). Is there any other option for me to increase the Rice yield?
7) I am finding it difficult to get the fertilizers in Raigad district. Please suggest me any source nearest to my farm for below mentioned fertilizers :
a. Urea : 200 Kg
b. Single Super Phosphate : 500 Kg
c. Muret of Potash : 150 Kg
d. Neem Cake : 500 Kg
e. F.Y.M. : 10000 Kg
I shall be grateful if you could provide me with indicative prices for the same.
I know these are too many questions together but please excuse and guide me.
Thanks and Regards
