Impact of the work done on Impact of the work done on Biodynamic farmingBiodynamic farming
Biodynamic production of vegetables has emerged on one of the major events in UP Diversified Agricultural Support Project (World Bank aided programme).With project support farmers have come forward and till date they have established 21,524 NADEP, 8694 Vermiand 24103 Cow Pat Pit.Looking the efforts of DASP Self Help Groups and farmers interest it appears that technology is spreading fast.Tree/cow dung paste has almost replaced the spray of copper oxychloride for the control of die back in mango rejuvenation of old mango orchards.
