Business News Desk – If you want to earn more profit by farming in less land, then you will have to plant more than one crop simultaneously. This will reduce your cost of planting different crops. In this way your cost of farming will be reduced by 3-4 times. If we talk about profit, you will get more than 7 times profit. The biggest reason for this is the reduction in costs, which will translate into profits.
What is multilayer farming?
Multilayer farming is the technique of growing more than one crop in one field. It is also known as multilayer farming. In this farming technique, many types of crops can be cultivated simultaneously in the same field. In this method, those crops are selected which can be easily grown inside the ground. While some crops are grown on vines, some crops are grown together on the ground at a certain distance apart or in between crops. By using this method, farmers can earn good profits by growing multiple crops simultaneously in the same land.
Crop cycle adopted according to changing weather
Western Uttar Pradesh is famous for sugar belt i.e. sugarcane production. However, there are some farmers who, while innovating in the fields and barns, weaved the crop cycle according to the changing weather through nature. If its results were better than expected, the financial condition of the farmer and the direction of his crops changed.
Get 6 to 7 times profit
Small and marginal farmers can get 6 to 7 times the profit from sugarcane by growing vegetables on scaffolding and land using multilayer farming technology. According to Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Department, Jaiveer Singh, resident of village Surana in Muradnagar tehsil area of UP, was the owner of four bighas of land. When the farmer, who grows sugarcane and wheat in the traditional way, participated in the workshop of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, he decided to make farming a profitable deal.
Cultivation of these along with cucumber and bitter gourd
Jaiveer Singh has been doing multilayer farming for the last 5 years. A distance of six feet is kept between the two layers. Radish, spinach and fenugreek are sown between two layers. For the production of cucumber and bitter gourd, a scaffold is built in the field and vines are mounted on it. Radish, spinach and fenugreek grow in soil.
Earning of Rs 1 to 1.5 lakh in one bigha
In a crop of 5 months, one bigha land produces cucumber worth Rs 25 thousand, bitter gourd worth Rs 30 thousand and radish, spinach and fenugreek worth Rs 20 to 25 thousand per bigha. After this, tomato, bitter gourd, green chilli, gourd, ridge gourd, lady’s finger etc. are sown. Sugarcane worth Rs 30 to 35 thousand is produced in one bigha of land and the cost per bigha is around Rs 12 to 15 thousand. Whereas in multilayer farming the income per bigha is one to one and a half lakh rupees.
