Success of biodynamic Agriculture in Marathawada region of Maharashtra

Posted 07-09-2008 at 01:00 AM by nettle
Thanks to my guru Mr Peter Proctor,international biodynamic consultant,who taught me biodynamics at Anand Gujrat.Immediately after that I started disseminating this useful knowledge to the farmers in my working area i.e. Beed District(Maharashtra).I demonstrated composting by using biodynamic method.The response to the composting was tremendus,as this method is easy to work and no expenditure involves,a large number of men and women farmers showed their interest in composting,so I could demonstrate more than FIVE thousand composting depots,during 3 years,each yielded minimum 2 MTs of good quality compost. CPP was prepared at the doorstep of small farmers so they could make compost from their farm waste.The use of CPP is very common.Many women selfhelp groups are producing CPP.BD 500 and BD 501 are also prepared in large amount.The Hon Member of Legislative Council of Maharashtra Mrs Usha Darade,herself independetly is conducting 2 to 3 days durational courses of women farmers on Biodynamic Agriculture,uptill now she conducted such 62 courses for 102 villages.Biodynamic methods are proved boon for rural community.Many biodynamic farms have been developed in the district.The movement is not restricted in Beed district only, I delivered several lectures on the subject in whole Maharashtra.The farmers have participated in local,State level,National level and International level exhibitions. Now the story is being continuing by farmers themselves as I am not working in Beed,transfered to Aurangabad and I started this work in Aurangabad district, here also I am getting good response from farmers especially small farmers.I realised in last 3 years and I am confident that the perfect solution with us to bring up farmers from poverty is the Biodynamic Agriculture.

Biodynamic agriculture is a method of farming where earth is treated as living being and synergic use of Cosmic forces, earth , moon, cow and all living being is harnesed in a natural cosmic rythum. CPP (Cow Pat Pit), BD-500 etc are preperation of soil enriching additives from cow dung,urine and specially prepared inoculum of micriobes (called BD set), which are added to the soil in a particular way as per specific biodynamic calender in homoeopathic doses (very small quantities) to bring amazing soil improvement. Crops grow vigorously, disease and pest are controlled and yield and quality of produce is superior.
I can help you to get trained for Biodynamic and Homa Farming if you are interested. There is a training centre which provides free of cost training on this. You will have to bear travel and boarding cost only.
RBS.
