And Finally I Get More Than Double Price of My Organic Mango By Adopting Organic Farming

I Patel Dipakbhai Valjibhai, am a farmer living in Gandhinagar and my farm is at Jodkampa (Mudeti) village of Idar Taluka, District Sabarkantha, Gujarat State. I have a kesar mango orchard in 10 Ha land. On 27th May 2018, one meeting was organized by Health and Nutrition Care Foundation on organic farming at my farm Mudeti, for registration of organic farming. During the meeting Mr. Chauhan Sharad explained about the processes of registration and importance of organic farming. I immediately expressed my willingness to join organic farming project and I joined with Health and Nutrition Care Foundation for organic farming in 8 ha land.

  • Conclusion & Objectives

   Health and Nutrition Care Foundation is a NGO and working for Rural Economic development with a specific focus on the organic farming, processing of organic produce, preservation of environment for sustainable development and Progress, Prosperity and Peace of farmers and their family. Health and Nutrition Care Foundation has registered bout 2500 farmers for adoption of organic farming and I am one of them.

   After joining organic project, I regularly attained monthly organic club meetings and demonstrations conducted by Health and Nutrition Care Foundation. During these meetings and demonstrations, Dr. Bagwan and other field staff gave detail information on production of FYM compost by using NPK, NADEP compost, Vermicompost, vermin wash, Beejamrut, Jeevamrut, Amrutpani, Panchgavya, Dashparni extract, Agnishastra, Bhrmastra etc. and their timely application in mango orchard for properly INM and IPM.

   Dr. Bagwan Sir visited my organic mango orchard many times and encouraged me for organic farming. He guide me how to prune mango trees, how to identify different insects, diseases and how to control them timely by using organic remedies. He also advised me to plant medicinal plants on orchard border. As per his advice I have planted some medicinal plants like Neem, Tulsi, Calatropis, Sitaphal etc. to prepare botanical pesticides and protect the crop from pests and diseases. I have constructed five vermin compost beds for the production of vermicompost and vermin wash. During last three years I produced 19MT vermicompost and 2500 liters of vermin wash. The training programme on “Post-harvest management and export of organic mangos” becomes very useful for me. During the training programme Dr. Bagwan sir gave detail information on-

   

  • Harvesting of fruits at right maturity and how to avoid harvesting of immature fruits.
  • Harvest the fruits early morning (before 10 AM) or in evening (after 4.00PM) and avoid fruit harvesting whole day.
  • After harvesting keep the fruits under shade and keep away from the direct sunlight.
  • Sorting of injured, stained, immature, undeveloped and dirty fruits from the heap.
  • Washing of healthy and matured fruits with clean water.
  • Selection of matured, healthy, uniformed sized and of 350 to 500 g fruits for export purpose.
  • Hot water (55 °C) treatment for 5 min. to avoid fungal infection and insect / pest incidence during storage and transport.
  • Wrapping of individual fruit in waste news paper and packing in corrugated box of 5 to 10 kg capacity.
  • Labeling of organic mangos i.e. Organic Mango

    •    I adopted these practices and got best (more than double than conventional) market price for my organic mangos. After three years of project my production cost is reduced by 65 to 80%, productivity is increased by 25 to 30% and quality of produce is improved. and over all my economic status is improved. I am highly thankful to Health and Nutrition Care Foundation and Dr. Bagwan Sir for providing services as and when I required. In brief my achievements of organic farming are mentioned as under.
