Practice Name:

Improving the Quality of Land

Details

Category	Agriculture
Crop	Pearl millet
Crop Family	Grasses
Scientific Name	Pennisetum glaucum
Vernacular Name	bajari
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Husk of finger millet (Eleusine coracana)
Details Of Innovation	While separating the seeds from finger millet (Eleusine coracana), the husk which is separated can be used as a manure in the farm where potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are grown. The practice helps good development of the nodes of potatoes. The husk manure in the crop of potatoesimproves the quality of land and there is increase in the production.

PAS 1	"Castormeal is a good organic fertilizer, due to its high N and P contents, but blending with castor husks is not necessary. Blends of castor meal and castor husks for optimized use as organic fertilizer." https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82583546.pdf
PAS 2	Many oil cakes such as castor, neem, madhuca, karanja, linseed, rape seed and cotton seed which are non-edible oil cakes may serve as useful organic manure as these contain high amounts of plant nutrients. (Organic Manureshttps://ncof.dacnet.nic.in/Training_manuals/Training_manuals_in_English/Organicmanures.pdf )
PAS 3	"A significant interaction effect between organic manure and RDN was found where application of castor cake @ 1 t/ha with 100% RDN recorded significantly higher grain yield (4032 kg/ha) with maximum net realization (Rs. 30320/ha) with 2.25 BCR.

PAS 4	"Applying only 500 kg of castor de-oiled cake along with 100 percent recommended dose of NPK and Zn per hectare is enough to get higher income with reducedcost of cultivation.
