Jaivic Chhabutra (On farm Kitchen)
Impact of Jaivic Chhabutra
Jaivic Chhabutra can help in conversion and enhancing of carbon in the soil with increase in water holding capacity and organic carbon and hence resulting in no residue left of predecessor crop rather providing a nutritive humic and ionic composition ready to be assimilated through sustained release for nourishment of successor crop. This would result in increasing the soil column, hence making the root to reach new depths and thereby procuring the needed nourishment by plants which otherwise was neither available nor reachable.
Thus, it will act as an effective tool in carbon credit earning as Jaivik Chhabutra will help ending up the burning of crop residue (after the combine harvesting of paddy and wheat).
It has been observed by the farmers that Jaivik Chhabutra’s application for three seasons has resulted in better water holding capacity, fast crop residues decomposition, better crop health and lesser plant diseases infestation.
Jaivik Chhabutra has emerged as a torch-bearer for the farmers who have loosen their faith in the practices of agriculture and who have prepared themselves to abandon the rural area due to excess expenditure on the inputs purchased from the market.
