The Way Farmer Manpreet Singh Enhanced His Paddy and Cotton Yields Using Soil Kawach NPK and Two Drop Super Spreader
Currently, farmers in agriculture are in quest of eco-friendly methods which are cost-efficient to improve the fertility of the soil, the yield of the crops and health of the plants without the use of heavy chemicals. An exemplary case is Manpreet Singh’s, a modern agriculturist from Punjab who efficiently implemented Aastha Organics’ Soil Kawach NPK Carrier-Based Consortia alongside Two Drop Silicone-Based Super Spreader in his paddy and cotton fields. His experience demonstrates the immense benefits brought about by proper biofertilizers and modern spreaders, not only to cultivation but also to farming profitability, all while preserving eco-friendly practices. Like the other farmers in his vicinity, Manpreet struggled with the following set of issues: Rising prices of chemical fertilizer and pesticides Declining soil quality Pests and diseases affecting cotton and paddy crops Water and nutrient stress in other crops Manpreet looked for a solution that was chemical-free, sustainable, and would improve the soil fertility and yields to help decrease the use of chemicals. Soil Kawach NPK is one of the variants of consortium-based composite bio-fertilisers that is developed for soil health enhancement makes use of a set of beneficial microorganisms that provide the following services: - Fixing and converting atmospheric nitrogen into usable nitrogen - Solubilising locked phosphorus in the soil - Mobilising potassium for guaranteed availability - Providing nutrients by enhancing the root system and microbial diversity Soil Kawach NPK’s useful range of crops includes cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, and even cotton. Notes from Manpreet Singh: - Less dependence on expensive urea and DAP - Cost savings from reduced DAP and urea purchases - Physical and biological soil quality is improved - Better root growth in paddy and cotton cultivars - Improved plant defence against pests and environmental stresses Method of Use: Soil: 2–4 kg per acre together with compost before planting Seed Treatment: Biofertiliser-coating to ensure uniform germination Foliar Spray: 5–10 ml per litre of water during the active crop growth period 2. Two Drop Super Spreaders Silicon Based In addition to the Soil Kawach NPK, Manpreet Singh uses the Two Drop Super Spreader. The Two Drop Super Spreader is an adjuvant when applying pesticides, fungicides, and foliar fertilizers. Operation mode: - Decreases the surface tension of the spray solution. - Ensures optimum coverage of all leaf surfaces, regardless of smooth, waxy, or hairy leaf surfaces (as in cotton). - Increases absorption by the plant tissue. - Rainfastness: light chemicals are protected from being washed off with drizzle, etc. Benefits that Manpreet Singh noted: - Increased performance for pesticides and fungicides. - A decrease in waste chemical run-off. - An increase in coverage of hairy leaves of cotton. - A decrease in agro-chemical costs because the lower rates were effective. Used Rates 0.1 ml/L for foliar fertilizers. 0.05-0.1 ml/L for pesticide and fungicide applications. 0.1-0.2 ml/L for herbicides. Manpreet Singh Decided to Respond to the Data That Was Ignored for One Season: Paddy Crop: - Root systems developed and were more established. - Uniform tillering and improved greening of the leaves. - Improved nutrient capture, lesser pest attack. - The grain yield is higher with improved quality. Cotton Crop: - Developed root system and healthier plants. - Improved resistance towards fungal and pest sucking. - Boll formation and yield. - Earlier formation and higher yield. Manpreet observed an overall reduction in input costs of about 20-25%. Coupled with other improvements, the yields came up a great deal which led to a much greater profit and even the future health of the soil for sowing crops coming in was much better. Improves soil fertility and microbial activity Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers Increases the efficiency of fertilizers and pesticides Suitable for a wide range of crops—paddy, cotton, cereals, pulses, vegetables, fruits, and cash crops Supports sustainable farming with assured returns The journey of Farmer Manpreet Singh tells us a narrative of success in the case of biofertilizers and innovative spreaders. The use of Soil Kawach NPK Carrier-Based Consortia and Two Drop Silicone-Based Super Spreader enabled him to not only increase production of his paddy and cotton but also to strengthen soil health and save on chemicals. To every farmer in India, it sends a distinct message—agriculture’s future is in effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable farming technologies.Challenges Encountered by Mr. Manpreet Singh
