Ecolution India Organics farming practices of organic cultivation not only benefit the farmers financially due to growing demand for clean organic farming, but also keep the land free from harmful chemicals associated with commercial cotton cultivation. The environmental results have proven to be a positive step forward to improve the farmland:
- Nitrogen content in the soil has increased from 0.06% to 1.7%
- 75% increase in Oxygen absorption in the soil
- Increased growth of stem and leaf
- Enhanced photosynthesis rate of plants
- Improved quality of fruit and grains
- Improved soil water management practices and soil fertility
- Reduced cost of cultivation
- Increasing number of farmers and more land under organic cultivation
Experts including agricultural scientists, technical consultants and extension supervisors regularly monitor farming activities and guide the farmers on complete waste management, recycling, and adopting better farming practices. They train the farmers on preparing natural fertilizers, human and animal health care and pest management, in addition to undertaking various activities for their welfare. Farmers are also aided by being offered a premium on organic cotton over regular cotton and having seeds available to them that are priced lower than the standard market price.
