How to make organic fertilizer at home

Product's required for organic farming

Cow manure or dung.
Cow Urine.
Jaggery.
Big drums around - 15 to 20 kg (capacity).
Lentils paste (dalhan- daal ka aata).
Gram flour (besan).
Soil 2 to 5kg- ficus religiosa(bodh tree), banyan tree, soil near lake.
Branches and leaves of Neem tree.
Mixture of all the above in one acre - feed 2-3 bora's.

The process of making organic fertilizer by cow dung and cow urine:

First collect cow dung according to the need for better results you can collect at least 100 kg cow manure and dry it for 4-5 days by spreading in a shade. When it dried completely rub it from both hands till it looks like tea patti.

Meanwhile, fill a drum with cow urine along with 20 kg jaggery (known as gur in India) shake it daily morning and evening so that jaggery and cow urine can be mixed up comfortably. Jaggery will increase the counts of microorganisms (crores) in cow urine.

In 100 kg dry cow dung mix the above liquid (cow urine + jaggery) 20 kg. Add 2 kg gram flour or lentils paste (dalhan) then add 2 kg soil. If possible bring soil near by neem tree, banyan tree, ficus religiosa (pipal tree) or beside a lake, pond because these soils contains a good number of bacteria's.

Now mix all of the above and your organic fertilizer called ghanjeeva amrit is ready.

Let me make it more clear what you have added to prepare the fertilizer-

100 kg cow dung, 2 kg jaggery, 2 kg gram flour or dalhan, 2 kg soil.

Use this organic fertilizer in place of DAP but remember use only 2 to 3 sack or highest of 4 in one acre of land, don't use over 4 sacks.

Now your organic fertilizer is ready to use. Spread it all over the land and produce good crop organically.

Termite control in organic farming

If you are facing the problem of termite then try this formula at once -

Put 30-40 kg weed straw in a drum then add the solution (water) of waste decomposer to it, leave it for 15-20 days to rot. After it rots completely take 5 litre liquid of it and mix it with 15 litre's clean water then spray it on your plants and farm. Thus you can solve the termite problem.

How to make organic pesticides at home

First arrange some neem twigia and leaves, hemp, kaner, papdi, aankh etc wash all of them to remove dirt. Then cut all in small pieces and boil it for one day after boiling remove the solid form and collect the liquid in a bottle. Remember it is now highly concentrated poison so don't use it directly.

Only one glass should be added to 15-16 litres water later you can exceed it to 1.5 to 2 glass but not more than two because of high poison content. I repeat pay high attention while using it don't use more than one glass in the beginning if necessary then only try to exceed it.

Note - Add only 1 glass of pesticide to 15 -16 litres water.

How to prepare organic fungus spray for plants

organic spray for fungus gnats - For making organic fungus killer you need a pot then fill it with lassi, add any small item of copper it may be copper wire, bolt or anything.

Then cover the pot with a cloth tie it hard and don't allow air to pass then dig it in the mud. Leave it for 40 days, after 40 days it will become powerful fungicide.

Add only one glass of this fungicide in 15-16 litres water tank and mix well. Now its ready to spray on your plants and kill fungus.

Note - Add only 1 glass of the fungicide in 15 -16 litres water.

Look at the nature; Everything is already arranged we just need to take advantage by implementing them.

Environmental benefits

Reduces dependency on harmful chemicals. Encourages uses of cow manure and urine which is absolutely environment friendly.

Useful contribution to maintain soil quality. Consumes less energy in comparison of conventional methods.

Basic examples of organic farming are: Use of animal manures and crop rotations. Cow dung, cow urine, green manures etc. Use of natural products including earthquakes, dalhan, hemp, jaggery to make organic fertilizers and pesticides.
Organic farming is divided into two types integrated organic farming and pure organic farming.

What is certified organic
In this products must be produced according to organic standards as certified by one of the certifying bodies. The grower wish to get certified by organic body. To ensure the authenticity of the organic products the national standards was established in 2000.

The certification is issued by the testing centres approved by APEDA that stands for Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority. APEDA is working effectively since 2002 in the category of organic food as legal advisory.

Organic farming vs conventional farming

However, farmers are grown with conventional farming techniques but its time to change and start organic farming practices so that next generation can easily adopt organic farming skills.

I am not against anything but I want to say that we should change according to the time and conventional farming ideas are bit older so its time to replace them by modern farming concept in which we can choose organic farming with a little mix of chemical farming.

However, excess of chemical farming is not good for health but at the same time it will be difficult for farmers to grow everything organically the main point is “change also needs time to change”.

Even dhoni is also growing organic vegetables, he has organic farming and organic food store. Dhoni is presenting good example as a role model.

Organic farming is easy

Sir Albert is the daddy of organic farming in agriculture. This farming practice is done majorly in Indian villages. It is a chemical less practice performed to grow plants and vegetables healthy in the long run.

You can prepare needed bacteria and micro nutrients for the crops in your farm. There are different options available that can replace urea and dap which also consist of nitrogen, phosphorus and other resources.

This farming is divided into two types: integrated organic farming and pure.

Organic farming is an agricultural system which originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices.

In other words it can be described as a system of agriculture which supports the environment by reducing the dependency on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Organic farming vs chemical farming

We can't deny the presence of chemicals in our agriculture sector. The truth is very clear that most farmers want to grow extra crops in less time therefore they usually use chemicals and pesticides.

I want to draw your attention towards the timings of the farming. Farmers should try to do organic farming while cultivating such cultivars that takes more than a year because organic farming needs time and 1 year is more than enough.

It takes around 40 – 45 days to prepare effective organic pesticides. it becomes difficult with such cultivars that grow within 2-3 months therefore farmers need to prepare their organic products earlier. These all preparations become much easier in long term farming goals.

Today it is hugely promoted by the Indian government, and demand is growing worldwide.
