Bhoomla Khedi one of the village under Chanchoda block of the district is getting fame as a first ever bio village of the state. The project is being developed by Rajiv Gandhi WaterShed Mission under drought eradication development programme.
The basic aim behind this project is to establish a bio village, which uses bio techniques to improve not only crop production but also get the quality, crop free from the harmful pesticides.
Firstly the local soil was minutely examined for the presence/absence of various elements and suitability of soil for type of crops. The farmers were advised about the elements required for the soil to get a better crop. The soil was tested for the presence of quantity of Zinc, molybdenum, magnesium, magnese, iron and copper. Besides these soil was also examined for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Based on these tests reports farmers were guided accordingly about the type of crop most suitable for the soil. The treated seeds were given to the farmer and after that NADEP fertilizer were used. The seeds were being treated to make them free from fungus, germs and bacteria
Fifteen NADEP pites were formed in Bhoomla Khedi. These NADEP pites were further improved with slight modification. They were treated with fungus named "TRICODERMA" along with garbage, soil and cow dung. This makes soil/fertilizer ready in 60 days instead of usual 90 days period. Use of bio technique resulted in production of onion, papaya, zira, ajwain and crops with clinical aroma like citronela, lemon grass and meath. Besides traditional crops like wheat, soyabean and dhaniya. The results were astonishing and the production was almost double then it used to be in previous years.
The most important thing was that no chemical insecticide is being used. An equipment is placed in the center of the fields, which attracts the insects, and they are automatically caught in that instrument. The price of this instrument is also nominal.
The production of crops with clinical aroma started but the problem was how to extract the oil from it. As the oil is the main source of income for the farmers. An instrument was prepared at a nominal cost in consultation with local farmers and project officer of the micro water shed mission. The problem of extraction of soil was solved. The farmers are now happy, as the concept of Bio Village has brought prosperity in their lives.
ROAD TO PROSPERITY FOR "SHRI PRASAD"
Shri Prasad, one of the farmers of village Naipura under Chanchoda block is having five bigha of total land of which three bigha is irrigated and remaining is not irrigated. He was facing hardship of life due to water scarcity and decreasing down water level. He somehow manages an electric pump but the same does not served the purpose because of low ground water level. The pump was able to suck water only for 10 minutes. Under these circumstances he was unable to irrigate his land properly and production was obviously low. He was in a hand to mouth situation with old parents, wife and three children dependent on his earning.
Many works related with treatment of soil started here in village under Rajiv Gandhi Watershed Mission. The effect of this measure was visible during the next rainy season as water level of the wells closed dramatically and now he could easily get the water supply through the electric pump for more than two hours. The adequate water was available not only for his five bigha of land but also for five to seven bigha of the neighbor farmers. He was also able to earn from this. He became the member of self-dependent squad of water shed mission. He was given loan of Rs. 6000 to purchase seeds. He developed a nursery of thousands of plants including seasom, papaya, mango and eucalyptus etc. He has earned Rs. 36000 through this nursery and plants worth Rs. 12000 are still available for selling.
